Regha’s first target was rising star Asake, who took home the coveted Album of the Year award.
In a controversial statement, Regha boldly claimed that Asake did not deserve the accolade. Instead, he argued that either M.I or Vector, two heavyweight rap artists, should have been the rightful winners.
The music critic did not stop there, as he voiced his disappointment with Ayra Starr winning the Best Female Artiste award.
According to Regha, this decision was nothing short of “insulting.”
He believed that established artistes Tiwa Savage or Simi were more deserving of the title, labeling Ayra Starr as merely a creator of TikTok songs.
Regha’s critique questioned the credibility of the Headies Awards, accusing them of favoring artistes with record label influence and connections rather than true talent.
Regha continued his tirade by suggesting that Vector should have won the Rap Album category instead of Blaqbonez.
In a surprising twist, Regha also took aim at the nominations, particularly in the Best Rap Single category. He boldly stated that Declan Rice by Odumodu should not have even received a nomination.
Regha concluded his controversial rant by claiming that the Headies Awards had lost their essence due to favoritism.
“Asake d¤n’t deserve Album of the Year, that should’ve gone to M.I or Vector; & Ayra Starr winning the “Best Female Artiste” instead of Tiwa or Simi is !nsulting. Someone that makes Tiktok songs? Rema, Ayra Starr, plus Asake d¤n’t merit some of the awards, it was based on record label influence/connection. Vector also deserves “Rap Album”, n¤t Blaqbonez. Again, Declan Rice by Odumodu sh¤uldn’t have bagged a nomination in Best Rap Single. The Headies is all about favorit!sm now,” he wrote.
