Tacha Criticizes Headies Awards for Hosting Event Abroad Instead of Africa
Popular Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate Tacha has lashed out at the organisers of the renowned Headies Awards for hosting their prestigious event in the United States instead of Africa, particularly Nigeria.
Expressing her discontent on social media, Tacha stated that no local bloggers should cover the Headies Awards campaigns due to this seemingly controversial decision. The reality star questioned why the largest music award show in Africa would opt to hold their ceremony abroad consecutively.
Tacha went further to criticize the move, labeling it as a “slave mentality.”
Her strong words raised eyebrows across the Nigerian entertainment industry as fans and critics alike voiced their opinions on social media platforms.
The Headies Awards, organized by Hip Hop World Magazine, has been a prominent platform for recognizing and celebrating musical talents in Africa for over a decade. The event has traditionally been held in Nigeria, providing an opportunity to showcase the country’s vibrant music scene and cultural heritage to a global audience.
The 16th edition of the award ceremony that celebrated Afrobeats and African culture took place on Sunday at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta.
The show, tagged ‘Celebrating African Renaissance,’ saw A-list artistes from the continent of Africa converge to celebrate the creativity of Pan-African talent and the event honors the best in Afrobeats.
However, the recent decision to shift the awards ceremony outside Africa has triggered a debate within the entertainment community.
Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.
“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.
The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.
Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.
His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.
Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.
However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
