The 16th edition of the Headies award took place on Sunday, 3rd September 2023 at the Cobb Energy Performing Centre, Atlanta USA and it was hosted by Osas Ighodaro and American actor, Terrence J.
However, all did not go down well with Tacha who shared a video, revealing that it was understandable that the Headies was held in the United States last year as Afrobeats was beginning to make waves in the country.
But it is now disrespectful that the award ceremony is still being held in the United States, consecutively.
Drawing a comparison with the popular BET awards, Tacha stated that it would never be held anywhere in Africa come rain come shime. She also recalled how African artists were given award plaques at backstages in the past, at the BET awards.
In her words:
It is“colonial mentality” to think that the United States is the best place to host the Headies awards.
