The Headies is the top Nigerian/Pan African awards show established in 2006 by the Hip Hop World Magazine, a Nigerian publication. It celebrates the best in Afrobeats, African music and culture.

Ayo Animashaun, founder of Hip-hop World Magazine said it was to do with the fact that the awards were being held outside Nigeria.

According to Animashaun “We’re creating opportunities like this so that the world can see a different kind of entertainment,”

This year's ceremony marked the introduction of three new categories, including Artiste of the Year and Best Inspirational Single for artists from Africa and the Middle-East.
