Fans Favorites Left Disappointed At 12th Headies Award [PICS]

Comedian Bovi and Seyi Shay played the perfect hosts at The 12th HEADIES Awards which took place on May 5th at the Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island Lagos. 

However while they made the night filled with fun and laughs, the award proper left many disappointed by some of the winners and the organizers, especially when Yemi Alade won an award and Tiwa Savage face came up on the screen. 

Promising acts like Kiss Daniel, Niniola, Adekunle Gold, Tekno and Johnny Drille left empty handed. The choice of non voting categories also raised eyebrows but all in all the 12th Headies turned out beautifully for DMW and Mavin Records as well as for Simi and ace rapper M.I Abaga.
