Ayra Starr, the singer who won the Best Female Artist award at the 2023 Headies, has expressed her displeasure with the organizers of the award show for not announcing her category on stage. The ceremony took place at the Cobb Energy Centre in Atlanta Georgia, USA, last night.
Ayra Starr, who beat Tems, Tiwa Savage, and Simi to clinch the award, said that she felt disrespected and unappreciated by the Headies. She said that she and her fellow female artists work hard and deserve recognition.
“I will never be grateful for winning a category that wasn’t even deemed fit to be announced on stage! Best female artist na beans? We work hard, every single one of us! I’ve seen Tiwa record 4 hit songs in the same night, Tems breaths and lives for music, we didn’t deserve such nonchalance! Nigeria, you didn’t raise me to settle for less.” she wrote on her X handle.
The Best Female Artist award was one of the 14 awards that were not announced during the ceremony. The Record of the Year award, which is one of the most coveted awards, was also among the categories that were announced after the show had ended.
