Wizkid Gets First 2017 Award As He Wins At iHeartRadio Music Awards

The ‘Star Boy‘ has won his first iHeart Radio award, his first award for the year.

This comes courtesy his collaboration with Drake in ‘One dance‘, which won Hip-Hop Song of the Year, edging out another Drake song ‘Controlla‘, Desiigner’s ‘Panda’, Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s ‘All the way up’, and DJ Khaled’s ‘For free’ featuring Drake.

It can be recalled that Drake alongside Wizkid and Kyla lost out on a Grammy win with ‘One dance’ when it lost out in Album of the Year category at the Grammys 2017 for the album “Views”.
