By Andah John and Oladapo Okeowo

Superstar singer Wizkid edged Tiwa Savage, Olamide and Yemi Alade to emerge Nigeria’s Artiste of the year at the 2016 Headies Awards.

The event, reputed to be Nigeria’s most prestigious entertainment awards, held Thursday at the Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The 27-year-old Wizkid also won the African Artiste of the year award, beating Ghana’s Sarkodie in the process.

But it was not all about Wizkid at the glamorous event.

Another star artiste Phyno, who has had a year to remember in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, was rewarded for his musical exploits as his famous song ”Fada Fada” was voted Song Of The Year.

The awards, hosted by Falz and Nollyhood actress Adesua Etomi, also saw Kiss Daniel snapping three awards. He won Best R&B Pop Album, Hip-hop World Revelation and the Album Of The Year.
