Headies Releases Another Nomination List After Careless Error
One of Nigeria’s prestigious awards, The HEADIES, had released its official nomination list but with obvious errors.
GidiTrendz, had earlier published an article which analysed these errors further tagging them as “Unforgivable”.
However, the organisers, have released an official statement, notifying the public of some changes made on the initial list.
The statement reads;
THE HEADIES SECRETARIAT OFFICIALLY WRITE TO CORRECT THE FOLLOWING NOMINATIONS WHICH WERE GIVEN IN ERROR AND ARE CORRECTED AS FOLLOWS
‘VIRTUOUS WOMAN’‘ BY FLAVOUR WAS PRODUCED BY COBHAMS NOT MASTAKRAFT AND SELEBOBO PRODUCED ”RARA”, NOT TEKNO.
‘TONIGHT” BY NONSO AMADI WAS REMOVED FROM ‘BEST RNB SINGLE’ AND ‘BEST VOCAL PERFORMANCE (MALE)’ CATEGORIES BECAUSE IT WAS RELEASED BEFORE THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW.
MASTAKRAFT‘S NOMINATION FOR BEST PRODUCER IS ”YAWA” AND ”AUGMENT”, WHILE COBHAMS IS NOMINATED FOR ”BUTTERFLIES” AND ”VIRTUOUS WOMAN”.
WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE MISINFORMATION.
The 12th edition of the Headies Award is scheduled to hold on May 5, 2018, at the Convention Center, Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos.
Find below the updated list.
