In a heated rant, Siraheem made it clear that the Headies Award is not on his level because he is gunning for the Grammys.

Not stopping there, the billionaire’s son added that he would replace the Headies Award at any chance he gets because it’s not hard to book a venue and give out rubbish awards.

In his words:

“Grammy na my level, Headies is for upcoming artist. Las las we just have to rep Nigeria sha. Any small money I find, I go replace Headies for Nigeria. It’s not hard to book a venue and give bs awards.”
