Celebs and Headies Awards complaints, much ado about nothing
In over a decade that the award has been established, it has turned a lot of musicians’ career around just as it has caused lots of controversies too.
Artistes have been known to engage in ‘face-offs’ with no shame or thoughts about their status when it’s about the Headies.

The awards show is that influential.
The Hip Hop world awards, which was later dubbed the Headies in 2011, has stirred something of a controversy between entertainers like Don jazzy and Olamide, Cynthia Morgand and Davido as well as P-Square and the organizers of the show.
And the fans always love to take sides, after a full scale blow out on social media by their favourite entertainers. This has been the case.

And the fans always love to take sides, after a full scale blow out on social media by their favourite entertainers. This has been the case.
With 2015’s edition which held in early January 2016 and the meltdown between Don Jazzy and Olamide on stage, many are waiting with bated breaths to see how it all plays out at this year’s edition.
Though both celebs made up and apologized to their fans for their reactions, it will remain a highpoint in awards show history in the country.
Everyone must be guided properly and acting only in conformity with acceptable standards, otherwise in the end the entire aim of the process is defeated.
The Headies is perhaps the biggest awards show by a Nigerian in the land today and they have earned their stripes.
Ayo Animashaun’s media empire might not be were it ought to be, his Headies awards show might not break the ice on the level of MTV MAMAs and AFRIMA for instance, but he is easily one of the most influential figures in mainstream media today, especially with reference to entertainment.
With a figure like this, it is important to be wise.
It is really important for artistes to be guided when they make utterances about a Headies nomination or the lack of it.
As a result, comments from entertainers like Tekno, Solidstar Clarence Peters and others on whether or not they deserve to be nominated shouldn’t come up at all.
They shouldn’t because here is an awards show that is run and can be run without any of their consents so no one really cares how they feel.
Theirs is to make music, ours is to critique and the Headies’ is to reward whoever they deem fit.
It is what it is.
