Viral breakout artist Zeddy Will has been nominated for Best New Artist (Hip-Hop) at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards, taking place Thursday, March 26 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
The nomination follows a landmark 2025 breakout year, marked by the release of Zeddy’s debut project Set The Tone (featuring French Montana, Lil Tjay, Jenn Carter, and StaySolidRocky) and multiple viral moments across music, culture, and live performance. His breakout hit "Can’t Go Broke (Remix)" dominated TikTok, Shazam, and Billboard-style visibility with major out-of-home placements in NYC and LA and a nod from The New York Times for song of the summer. "Strut" alongside Ayanna Ife and Jenn Carter is currently dominating social media with over 218K user-generated videos to date.
Hailing from Queensbridge and signed to Power Moves Inc., Zeddy continues to blur the lines between viral culture and hip-hop stardom, backed by 7.7M Spotify monthly listeners, 12.1M TikTok followers, and major co-signs across music, sports, and entertainment.
