Early life and education
Headie One, whose real name is Irving Ampofo Adjei, is an English rapper from Tottenham, London. He was born on October 6, 1994 and grew up in the Broadwater Farm housing estate. He has strong African ancestry as his parents are Ghanaian and he speaks fluent Ghanaian “Twi”.
Unfortunately, Headie One lost his mother, Edna Duah, when he was three years old, so his father took on the responsibility of raising him. Although he has not revealed any information about his sister, it is known that he has one. The rapper has also not revealed any details about his educational background.
As a child, Headie One was an avid football fan and played for his local team, Haringey Borough FC. However, his sporting dreams were shattered after an ankle injury. From then on, he turned his attention to his love of rap. He began making music as a teenager and honed his skills after being released from prison.
The artist’s stage name, Headie One, comes from his childhood nickname, which was inspired by his head’s resemblance to a 50p coin.
Personal life
Headie One is notoriously secretive. Despite his growing fame, the rapper has kept his love life hidden from the public. He is not married.
However, Headie One’s life was not always easy and he had his fair share of legal problems. As a teenager, he was jailed several times for selling drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
Headie One’s most recent run into legal trouble was on January 8, 2020, when he was sentenced to six months in prison for possession of a knife. This was his fourth time in prison, and his legion of fans took notice.
But despite these setbacks, Headie One has managed to focus on his music career and emerge stronger than ever. Following his release in early April 2020, he immediately returned to work, producing hit after hit, cementing his position as one of the UK’s most exciting young artists.
Profession
Headie One was already a household name in the UK rap scene by the early 2010s. He began making a name for himself with his music, using the stage name “Headz”. At the time, he was a member of Star Gang, a talented group of rappers from Tottenham.
One of his closest collaborators at the time was another Tottenham rapper, RV. Together they released mixtapes Sticks & Stones and Drillers x Trappers in 2016. It was clear that they had a special musical connection and these works were warmly received by fans.
In February 2018, Headie One released his third solo mixtape, The One. The mixtape included the hit song “Know Better” featuring RV. The song quickly became a global hit and catapulted him to fame. Later that year, he featured on the Belly Squad song “Missing”, which peaked at number 84 on the UK Singles Chart.
The following month, in June 2018, Headie One released his fourth mixtape, The One Two. The album peaked at number 32 on the UK Albums Chart, a huge milestone for the rapper. He even embarked on his first national tour later that November.
It didn’t take long for him to break all kinds of records. In January 2019, his single “18Hunna” with Dave debuted at an impressive number 6 in the UK charts, making him the highest-charting artist before Russ Millions and Tion Wayne’s Body.
His sixth mixtape, Drillers x Trappers II, co-produced with RV, was released in March 2019 and peaked at number 21 in the UK. The first single from the mixtape, “Match Day”, debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 86.
In July of the same year, Headie One collaborated with Krept & Konan to release the single “I Spy”, which peaked at number 18.

The brutal attack was filmed and then uploaded to social media platforms such as Snapchat and YouTube, sparking an “all-out gang war”.
In March 2018, Scotland Yard cancelled a concert by Headie One at the Barbican Arts Centre after police had “singled out” his music and linked it to London’s growing knife crime problem.
In an interview in April, the rapper spoke candidly about the negative perception of the drill music scene, saying “only fools” would blame the capital’s violence problem solely on the genre.
