Following several months of planning, Nigerian superstars, Tiwa Savage and Dr Sid, have been named hosts for the 2013 edition of The Headies music awards.
According to the organizers, both artistes have been selected in line with the awards’ tradition of picking talented and inspiring entertainers to host the ceremony, which parades some of the continent’s biggest entertainers.
Speaking on The Headies, Tiwa, who was full of commendation, said, “Being the eighth year, it’s not easy to be consistent in a country like Nigeria. So, I give kudos to the organizers for creating an award by Nigerians for Nigerians. It’s always sketchy when the nomination list comes up, like this year. We are not going to touch on that. We’ll just wait for the night and address those issues; and then, we’ll go ‘all Kanye West’ on the awards.”
Dr. Sid was also full of excitement, saying, “I’ve been trying to host this event for the past six years. I had waited to be called to no avail; but this year, I’m one of the hosts. I’m so emotional right now and I’m glad for this opportunity.”
The eighth edition of The Headies comes up on December 26, at the Grand Ball Room of the Oriental Hotel, Lekki, Lagos.
Also known as the Hip-HopWorld Awards, the event, according to the organizers, seeks to honour urbane music and hip-hop culture.
Produced and presented to match some of the biggest awards shows from around the world, The The Headies annually celebrates deserving Nigerian music stars and gives honour to whom it is due, while also encouraging many to raise their game in order to enter the prestigious Headies alumni.
