Tiwa Savage and Sidney Esiri a.k.a Dr Sid, both from Mavin records have been announced as hosts for the year’s edition of  The Headies, Nigeria’s biggest and most prestigious music awards.
According to the organizers of the awards, the pair have been selected in line with the awards’ tradition of picking talented and inspiring entertainers, to front an awards ceremony that parades some of the continent’s biggest entertainers.
Tiwa Savage has earned a place for herself as one of Nigeria’s favourite artistes since the release of her 2010 debut single Kele Kele Love. The song which was released while Tiwa was still in the US, topped charts instantly but it was the follow up single ‘Love me, Love me, Love me’ that won the hearts of many.
Speaking on The Headies 2013, Tiwa said, “Being the 8th year, it’s not easy to be consistent in a country like Nigeria. So Kudos to the organizers to have an award by Nigerians for Nigerians…it’s always sketchy when the nomination list comes up, like this year.
We are not going to talk on that, we’ll just wait for the night and address those issues and we’ll go ‘all Kanye West’ on the awards…’
newly married singer at The Headies 2013 is her label mate Dr Sid.
Now in its 8th year, The Headies (also known as the HipHopWorld Awards) is Nigeria’s premiere honours event for urbane music and hip hop culture.
