The organisers of the Headies have announced that the awards will be leaving Nigeria again, unveiling Canada as the host of the 18th edition.
Recall that the awards first left Nigeria in 2022 for its
15th edition in Atlanta but returned to Lagos for the 17th edition in 2025.
Speaking on Monday during “The Big Announcement” event held
at Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos, Headies founder, Ayo Animashaun, said the
decision to hold the 18th Headies in Toronto, Canada, was highly economical.
He explained that although the main ceremony will take
place in Toronto, it will run simultaneously with a live watch party in Lagos,
where Nigerian fans will participate in the celebration and witness portions of
the awards presentation as the event unfolds abroad.
Animashaun said, “Someone said Ayo, you are taking the
Headies out of the country again, he said it doesn’t make sense. Tell me what
makes sense. Does it make sense for us not to do it anymore?
“So how do we fund it? We will have a watch Party in Lagos.”
