The Headies organizers have been accused of rigging the award show for the category of ‘Best Performer.’
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu had announced Yemi Alade as the Best Performer of the Year, however, Tiwa Savage’s name appeared on the screen instead.
Even though, Yemi Alade got the award, the organizers of the show suffered severe backlash as Nigerians on social media questioned this mistake which many described as rigged.
Here are some comments from those who watched the award show below;
@Kikelom “Headies with their rigging, TV showed Tiwa Savage as winner but Ebuka announced Yemi Alade as the winner, who’s is deceiving who?”
@Iamifegbolahan “I thought I was the only crazy one who saw that, I smell something fishy… Headies when una go change?!!!
