The organisers of The Headies award on Tuesday March 1 announced that the 15th edition of the event will hold in Atlanta, USA.
The team led by Ayo Animashaun made this known during The Headies big announcement.
According to Animashaun, part of the decision to take the ceremony to another continent was because of their partnership with foreign organisations and the need to showcase African talents and promote its Afrobeat music to the world.
Speaking on what to expect, Ayo said that the 15th edition will be a global event as they plan to take African music to a global level.
He said in parts: “The next award will happen at Cobb Energy centre in Atlanta. We are showcasing what we’ve got. Our fashion industry and music is going with us. We are going global this time around.”
Mr Animashaun also announced that the winner of Next Rated category would be going home with a 2022 Bentley SUV.
Hosted by actress Nancy Isime and comedian Bovi, the event would include performances by dancer, Kaffy and singer, Goya Menor.
Originally known as the Hip Hop World Awards, the Headies was established in 2006 to celebrate artistes’ outstanding achievements in the Nigerian music industry.
