Ilerioluwa Aloba, a popular musician known as Mohbad, was honored with numerous awards at Sunday’s 17th edition of The Headies Awards, which honored him with several awards.
Mohbad won several top awards, including Afrobeats Single of the Year for the same song, Best Street-Hop Artiste for his hit single “Ask About Me,” and Best Collaboration for “Egwu” with Chike.
This recognition comes nearly two years after his tragic passing in September of this year, a blow to the Nigerian music industry and sparked outcry all over the country.
His family, which includes his wife Omowunmi Aloba and their young son Liam, gave him a standing ovation from an emotional audience as he accepted the awards.

Mohbad Lives On
We want to express our sincere gratitude for this award to Omowunmi in her heartfelt speech, which read, “On behalf of myself, our son Liam, my husband’s immediate brother Adura, and the rest of the Imolenization family.”
Mohbad “lives on,” even though he is no longer with us. Because he lives forever, especially through our son Liam, I don’t like to address him as my late husband.
He may not have fully grasped the depths of his father’s greatness, but I do believe that he will do so in the future.  ,
He will be aware of how his father’s voice is influencing people’s lives, and how his songs have impacted people with their spirit and strength. He will understand that his father still matters.
“Thank you so much for the Headies, thank you for shining a light on my husband, thank you for recognizing his legacy, and thank you for honoring his memory. It means a lot to Liam, our son, and Imolenization as a whole. Thank you once more.”
A montage and a short performance by street-hop artists celebrating Mohbad’s significant impact and the gap his passing left in the industry also made a heartfelt tribute to him.
The Headies Awards, which are regarded as Nigeria’s most prestigious music awards, had the themes of “Back to Base” and “Apologetically African,” a vibrant return to the nation after two years away.
Nollywood actress and media personality Nancy Isime, who brought charisma, humor, and infectious energy to the stage, hosted the event.
Every performance brought their A-game to the Headies stage thanks to a number of unforgettable performances, from Olamide and Shallipopi’s surprise joint performance to Fireboy DML’s soulful acoustic set.  ,
One of the night’s biggest winners was Chike, who co-starred with Mohbad in the award-winning song “Egwu” and won both the Viewers’ Choice Award and Best Music Video.
Rema’s project HEIS won Afrobeats Album of the Year, Davido won Digital Artist of the Year, and Tems won Best Recording of the Year for her soulful song “Burning.”
