awards, now known as Headies seriously anymore.
In the past, almost all the top Nigerian acts would
be present in an event like the Headies, especially
when they are recipients of awards.
Although the Headies brought together all the
Nigerian musicians from the 80s and 90s as a way
of reunion and letting them know the impact they
have made in the music industry and the traces
they have left behind with Onyeka Owenu, Oris
Wiliki, Mike Okori, Baba Fryo, Sir Shina Peters, Fatai
Rolling Dollar, Daddy Showkey, all present; not all
nominees and winners were absent at the event.
The winner of the Best Album of the year, P Square,
winner of the Best RnB single May D, winner of
song of the year D'Banj, Mavin crew, winner of Best
Rap Album Ice Prince, and African Artiste of the
year Sarkodie were all conspicuously absent at the
awards.
There are no clear indications of an important
event that kept the absent artistes away from
Headies. Pundits believe the awards might be
losing its touch, and that may explain why some
artistes felt winning a Headies award wasn't such a
big deal, hence their absence.
Ice Prince reports say was in Jos during the awards.
What do you think of the awards? Is it as solid as
ever, or has it lost its touch?
