 Nigerians will know worth of Headies awards, says Nkechi Blessing amid Grammy turnout


Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing recently expressed appreciation for the Headies award in light of the disappointment faced by Nigerian artists at the 66th Grammy Awards.

Despite the absence of prominent Nigerian musicians like Davido, Burna Boy, Tems, Arya Starr, Asake, and Olamide from the winner’s circle at the 2024 Grammy Awards, Blessing took to her Instagram page to emphasize the significance of domestic recognition.

She asserted that the Headies, a prestigious Nigerian music award, would now be more valued by both Nigerians and Nigerian artists who understand their worth.

Predicting a future where even global icons like American rapper Jay Z might attend the ceremony in Lagos to accept a Headies award, Nkechi highlighted the importance of any platform that acknowledges hard work and rewards talent, regardless of its scale or international recognition.

She said: “No award platform is small or not important as long as a group of people come together to acknowledge your hard work and then reward you for that hard work. Take them seriously. Big shout out to Headies. Now Nigerians will know your worth!! Make una dey support una own, Headies sef go nominate Jay Z and Jay Z go fly enter Lagos for Eko Hotel come to collect the award. We sef no small.”

She captioned the post with, “Giant of AFRICA. Proudly NIGERIAN. Now @ng_supereagles Make us proud on Wednesday. Return our list mantle. Prayers up for you all.”
