Foremost
telecommunications company in Nigeria, MTN alongside Hip Hop World, organisers of
the annual Hip Hop award, recently rewarded Nigerian artistes for their
tremendous and continuous re-invention of the music industry that has placed
Nigeria firmly among the best.
Held on October 20,
2012, at the prestigious Eko Hotel & Suites, the award witnessed a large
attendance among who are the crème-de-la-crème of Africa music industries and
top corporate heads.
The Headies awards
are annually given to artistes and music producers whose songs make wider
appeal and contribute to the finesse that the Nigerian Hip Hop community is
known for.
In different categories,
the award brings the young, the established and the aspiring into focus as they
are fittingly rewarded and recognized.
This year, however, stars
such as: Davido, Iyanya, Wizkid, Vector, D’Banj, P Square, Sound Sultan, Tiwa
Savage, Wande Coal, TY-Mix, Jude Okoye, among others, were duely recognized and
rewarded as they came top in their respective categories.
The award witnessed
varieties of performances from Chidinma, Project Fame Season 5 winner; Brymo,
Chuddy K, Timi Dakolo besides hilarious moments from MI and Omawunmi who
anchored the event - whereas a day earlier, at the same venue, the organizers
of the award and MTN, hosted the veterans of the music industry like Onyeka
Onwenu, Orlando Julius, Salawa Abeni, Stella Monye, Fatai Rolling Dollars,
Shina Peters, Mike Okri, Daddy Showkey and others to a night of applause and
celebration of the past.
aThe ‘Headies’is an
example of MTN and Hip Hop World’s commitment to finesse, can-do and general
delight.
