Popular skit maker and singer, Carter Efe has slamed the organizers of the Headies awards for their posthumous award to the late Afrobeats singer, Mohbad.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that the 17th edition of the headies award which is meant to recognize artists for their skills was held on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos.
However, the late Nigerian singer, whose real name is Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad who had died in 2023 was honoured with the Best Street-Hop Artiste award, and his widow Wunmi was the one to receive the award from the organizers on behalf of the singer.
Reacting, Carter Efe opined that Headies were misbehaving by awarding the singer.
According to him, they never gave the award to the singer when he was alive, but are doing so now that he is no more.
