Road Map To The Headies 2014

The Headies since debuting in 2006 has become one of the most anticipated events year in year out. Today, the Awards ceremony is the biggest award ceremony in  Nigeria. Within the space of Eight years it has cemented itself as the authentic awards’ brand and has continued to deliver an annual awards ceremony that has never failed to dazzle, inspire, excite and entertain. In Nigeria’s entertainment calendar, the date for the Hip Hop World Awards is one of the most anticipated, if not the most important.

‘The Headies’ will make a return to the prestigious Eko Hotels and Suite, Victoria Island. The Headies is now slated to hold on Sunday December 14, 2014 at the Eko Convention Centre, according to the update provided by its organizers.

It’s another opportunity to give Nigerians a spectacular show, and the team is working round the clock to do what they are best known for. There are twenty-one categories this year, with Phyno and KCEE leading the nominees’ list with five nominations each. Vying for the highly coveted Next Rated prize are Patoranking, Runtown, Orezi, Skales and Yemi Alade. This is undoubtedly the toughest awards yet.

This year’s awards promises to be the best pre-Christmas gift yet. The artistes can’t wait,  nominees are excited; the entire industry is agog and  excited.
