Headies Awards 2024 to be held in Nigeria
The Headies Awards, a prestigious ceremony that honors exceptional talents in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, is set to return to its roots.
Following its 16th edition, which was held in the United States, the Headies is making its way back home to Nigeria for its next edition. This decision comes after several years of hosting the event in the United States since 2022.
Originally established in 2006 by the Hip Hop World Magazine of Nigeria, the Headies, also known as the Hip Hop World Awards, was created to recognize outstanding achievements in the Nigerian music industry. Over time, it has evolved into a platform for celebrating and honoring the contributions of artists and industry professionals.
The 16th Headies Awards, held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, U.S., featured a lineup of top performers and notable personalities from the music and entertainment scene. However, the decision to host the event overseas sparked criticism from fans and industry insiders who expressed concerns about the show being held on foreign soil.
The return of the Headies to Nigeria is expected to reignite the excitement of local fans and artists alike, providing a platform for celebrating homegrown talent and the vibrant Nigerian music industry.
As preparations for the homecoming of the Headies Awards are underway, anticipation is mounting among music enthusiasts and industry stakeholders, eager to witness the next chapter in the illustrious history of this prestigious event.
This year: 2024, we are bringing the world back home: To the place that birthed the sound that has led everbody to the dancefloor, that has launched viral videos, that has put our continent right at the centre of global pop culture.
