Dance icon Kaffy and standup comedian Bovi have been chosen to host the 2015 edition of Nigeria’s most prestigious annual music awards show, The Headies, holding on December 30 at the Landmark Events Centre, Lagos.
Following
in the tradition of celebrity hosts at the yearly extravaganza which
began in 2006 with Dare Art Alade, the duo are expected to bring the
best of their worlds together for a special audience treat at the awards
ceremony which has the theme “Flip The Script” this year.

Adetiba and Banky W in 2009, Rita Dominic and eLDee in 2011, MI Abaga
and Omawumi in 2012, Dr. Sid and Tiwa Savage in 2013, and Toke Makinwa
and Basketmouth in 2014.
Speaking after she was revealed as this year’s co-host, Kaffy commented,
“I’m
really, really excited. This is like a dream come true for me because
this is Nigeria’s biggest annual music event and it’s going to be such a
rush to get up in front of all those thousands of people present and
the millions watching on television at home and present awards to
Nigeria’s biggest artistes. It’s an honour for me and I just can’t wait
for December 30! I’m sure Bovi is excited as well!”
Held
annually since 2006 when it was then known as
the Hip Hop World Awards,
the Headies has grown to become the Nigerian music industry’s flagship
annual event and one of the most eagerly anticipated events on the
Nigerian entertainment calendar every year. Over the years, the Headies
