The Headies 2024
The Headies 2024 was the 17th edition of The Headies. It was held on 27 April 2025 at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, after initially being scheduled for 5 April. Themed "Back to Base", the event was hosted by Nancy Isime and marked the award's return to Nigeria after two consecutive editions in Atlanta. The nominees were announced in February 2025, with new categories introduced, including "Soundtrack of the Year" and "Best Performer ".
The ceremony was affected by technical difficulties and scheduling issues, causing it to end abruptly before winners were announced in several major categories such as Best R&B Single, Best Collaboration, and Best Rap Album. Zerrydl won the Rookie of the Year, while Odumodublvck received the Next Rated award, presented by Davido. Other notable winners included Lojay, Liya, London, Erigga, and Davido. Tems' "Burning" won Best Recording of the Year, while Asake's "Lonely at the Top" was named Song of the Year. Chike and MohBad's "Egwu" won both Best Collaboration and Viewer's Choice, with MohBad also receiving a posthumous Best Street-Hop Artiste award. Flavour performed a medley of his songs during the ceremony.
