At the 17th Headies Awards, the late Afrobeat artist Mohbad was honored with a heartfelt tribute that celebrated his life, his music, and the lasting influence he had on his fans.
A powerful video montage featuring clips from his music videos was accompanied by a narration that highlighted his rise and significant impact on the music scene.
The tribute reflected that Mohbad’s legacy was far beyond his songs; it was a cultural force.
The tribute expressed: “Some voices are too powerful to fade, and some spirits shine with such brilliance that they leave an unforgettable mark. Mohbad was one of those stars. From the streets of Lagos to the hearts of millions, his music became more than just sound—it was a movement… Rest in peace, Mohbad, your light will continue to shine.”
In recognition of his contributions, Mohbad was posthumously awarded the title of ‘Best Street-hop Artist’ for his song “Ask About Me.”
His family, including his wife Wunmi, son Liam, and younger brother Adura, graciously accepted the award on his behalf.
