Headies 2018 is right around the corner and with the awards scheduled to hold this weekend, the organizers have announced changes to some names and categories in its previously released nominees list.
In a statement made available by the organizers of the awards, it reads, ''The Headies secretariat officially write to correct the following nominations which were given in error and are corrected as follows
- ''Virtuous Woman'' by Flavour was produced by Cobhams not Masterkraft and Selebobo produced ''Rara'', not Tekno.
- ''Tonight'' by Nonso Amadi was removed from 'Best RnB Single' and 'Best Vocal Performance (Male)' categories because it was released before the period under review.
- Mastakraft's nomination for Best Producer is ''Yawa'' and ''Augment'', while Cobhams is nominated for ''Butterflies'' and ''Virtuous Woman''.
We apologize for the misinformation.
The 12th edition of the Headies Award is scheduled to hold on May 5, 2018, at the Convention Center, Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos.
