The Headies Awards Corrects Error In 2018 Nomination List

By Farouk Mohammed

Organisers of the The Headies Awards, Smooth Promotions, have made some major changes in the nomination list of the 2018 awards.

A statement from the organisers on Thursday reveals that some nominations were changed and some wiped out from the list.

Ace artiste Nonso Amadi was badly affected as two of his nominations were withdrawn.

Amadi’s “Tonight” was removed from “Best Vocal Performance (Male)” and “Best RnB Single”.

Masterkraft and Cobham’s nominations were also edited.

The statement reads: “The Headies secretariat officially write to correct the following nominations, which were given in error and are corrected as follows ‘Virtuous Woman’ by Flavour was produced by Cobhams not Masterkraft and Selebobo produced ‘Rara’, not Tekno.

“‘Tonight’ by Nonso Amadi was removed from ‘Best RnB Single’ and ‘Best Vocal Performance (Male)’ categories because it was released before the period under review.

“Mastakraft‘s nomination for Best Producer is ‘Yawa” and ”Augment”, while Cobhams is nominated for ”Butterflies” and ”Virtuous Woman”.
