Erigga accused the Headies organizers of showing disrespect towards artists from the South-South region of Nigeria. He expressed his disappointment and frustration with the awards and made these allegations via his Twitter account shortly after the nominees for the 16th Headies were announced.
Despite releasing his album ‘The Lost Boy’ during the year under review, Erigga did not receive any nominations for the prestigious award show.
His decision to boycott the Headies reflects his discontentment with the selection process and perceived regional bias, as he believes artists from the South-South region are not given adequate recognition.
