Headies 18 Sparks Fan Debate Over Credibility and Overseas Venues

The Headies organisers have set June 15 for full details on the 18th edition of Nigeria’s premier music awards. Fans and industry insiders have been vocal online about what they expect and where the show should be held. Some viewers want the awards to regain their former credibility and ensure winners receive plaques. Others warn against staging the event abroad again and question why it only happens every few years. Still, many praise the Headies for championing Afrobeats on the global stage. Established in 2006, the Headies has become a top music award platform. The 17th edition took place in Lagos in April 2025 after earlier shows in the United States.
