Afrobeats sensation Ruger has taken a subtle swipe at the Headies Awards in a recent post on his X account.

The singer’s comment comes after the announcement of the 17th Headies Award nominees, which sparked controversy due to notable omissions.

Ruger’s post appears to be laced with sarcasm as he referred to the Headies as the “most credible award event in the whole world.”

He thanked the organisers for recognising the hard work of “ALL ARTISTS and ALL PROJECTS”.

Ruge concluded with a prediction that the Headies will soon be “bigger than all the awards in the whole world.”

“Shoutout to the most credible award event in the whole world THE HEADIES. Thank you for recognising the hard work of ALL ARTISTS and ALL PROJECTS. Very soon, you will be bigger than all the awards in the whole world. Amen,” he wrote.
