The 2025 Headies Awards witnessed one of its most emotional highlights when the late singer Mohbad was honoured with a posthumous award for Best Street Hop Artist.
In a deeply moving moment, Mohbad’s wife, their young son Liam, and his younger brother took to the stage to accept the award on his behalf.
The sight of the family together, carrying the memory of the late artist, stirred strong emotions among the audience.
In a brief but heartfelt acceptance speech, Mohbad’s wife expressed profound gratitude to everyone who had supported them through the difficult times.
Wunmi thanked the Headies for recognizing her husband’s talent and preserving his legacy despite his absence.
Speaking with visible emotion, she shared that although Liam is still too young to fully understand his father’s impact, she is confident that one day he will grow to see just how loved, respected, and celebrated Mohbad was.
The applause from the audience, with some struggling to suppress their tears, was a testament to the profound loss the music industry has suffered and the deep void his passing has left behind.
