The 17th Headies Back To Base Full Show | Performances, Award Wins, Speeches & Iconic Moments
Before the Billboard charts, the stadium tours, and the viral TikTok hits, there was base — the heartbeat of Afrobeats. This powerful documentary takes you on a journey through the evolution of Nigerian music, paying homage to the roots and legends that birthed the sound that now dominates the globe. From the pulsating streets of Lagos — home to Fela, Daddy Showkey, Galala, Baba Fryo, and the iconic African Queen by 2Baba — to the cultural richness of the East where Phyno, Illbliss, and Flavour proved that the Igbo spirit could echo worldwide. We head North to Jos where P-Square redefined performance, Ice Prince made cool the new standard, and M.I Abaga revolutionized Nigerian rap. The streets rose next — raw, unfiltered truth delivered by Dagrin, Olamide, Reminisce and more. They didn’t just rap; they roared. Surulere birthed a legend. From Ojuelegba to sold-out arenas, Wizkid carried the sound from studio corners to the O2 Arena. And the women? Asa, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade — they didn’t just join the movement, they led it with strength, soul, and stories. Now Afrobeats has gone global, but no matter where the sound goes — it always returns to base Don’t forget to subscribe: https://bit.ly/TheHeadies Official website - www.theheadies.com Follow our social media accounts Instagram: http://Instagram.com/the_headies X: https://x.com/the_headies Facebook: http://facebook.com/the_headies #musicawards #nigerianmusic #africanmusic #theheadies #wizkid #wizkidayo #afrobeats #nigeriaentertainment #entertainmentnews #miabaga #phyno #psquare #olamide #olamidebaddo
