Nigerian reality star, Tacha Akide has called out the organizers of the music institution, Headies Award for hosting the revered ceremony abroad.

The award ceremony took place in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America. This is the second consecutive year that the award ceremony will be taking place at the venue.

Speaking in a video via her social media platform, Tacha mentioned that the organizers of the award show should not have been taken outside the country. She mentioned that the institution should have capitalized on the popularity of the music genre, Afrobeats.
