Hitmaker and afrobeats singer, Asake, has been congratulated for winning the Album of the Year award at the 16th edition of The Headies, held September 3 in Atlanta, United States of America.
Telecommunications service provider, Airtel Nigeria, gave the congratulatory message after the wave maker won the award category sponsored by the telco.
In his message to the hitmaker, Airtel Nigeria Chief Communications Officer Femi Oshinlaja, said the award category, exemplifies the entire event.
“Considering the amazing quality of music that continues to come out of Nigeria and Africa, Asake has demonstrated that he is indeed at the pinnacle of his craft, even though his music career is relatively young,” Oshinlaja said. He added that, “As a world class organisation that always celebrates extraordinary achievements, we are proud to be associated with the success of this gifted musician.”
Asake, who also clinched the Next Rated Award for being the most promising new act to emerge in the year under consideration, won Album of the Year with his debut, titled Mr Money with the Vibes.
Airtel Nigeria said its continued sponsorship of The Headies is intended to help discover and promote exceptional talents such as Asake, while also boosting the efforts of the award organisers.
