MTN rewards artistes at Headies, co-hosts music veterans

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.
The ‘Headies’is an example of MTN and Hip Hop
World’s commitment to finesse, can-do and general
delight.
