The Hip Hop World Awards, better known as The Headies, have come and gone. Rife with controversy, Drama, unforgettable and forgettable moments alike, this years edition will be remembered for a long time by different people, for different reasons – good and bad alike. However, one thing was clear. The Blueprint for winning a Headie was finally made bare for all to see.
It’s quite the blueprint, to be honest.
We present to you, our esteemed readers, An Easy and Foolproof Step by step guide to scoring big at the Headies.


1. Have a large crew or If you can’t afford one, at least be signed to a strong record label

Make sure you have a strong crew of people who know people that knkw other people. It is more advantageous to have a crew leader with a deep baritone (intimidating,actually ) voice and something like "Boss", "Don" or "Father" attached to his name. (Nah,it is not who you think it is). *winks*



2. Get an Endorsement with a big conglomerate

Land a mouth-watering deal with a telecomscompany and you're on your way. Straight up!....click below to see full list

3. Make a song about jealousy and haters and people trying to ‘bring you down’

Now,this is is the thing. Sing about someone eyeing your new SUV or your Lekki house and you're an inch closer to getting that award. (Don't forget to add "oshaaay baddest" at the end).

4. Do NOT (I repeat, Do Not) invent a dance step.

(In Falz's voice) Plix,plix and plix. Don't hinvent a dance stepping. It won't help. It's a precious waste of energy instead. (Share rechargeable card on Twitter instead)

5. Make sure you have a Don in your crew. If you don’t have one, anyone with ‘-do’ in his name will do. Like Bad-DO. See?

This cannot just be over-emphasized. YOU NEED A DON IN YOUR CREW. (Incase they start beefing you). You need a Don whose connections can push you. Get it?

6. Arrive at the venue at the last minute, just as the winner in your category is about to be announced

We're almost there. You have to arrive very very late. Like a boss. Make sure you look smashing and show off your new shoes that cost you a fortune.

7. Do not build a fan base on streets. Street people tend to be all talk and no votes, You should instead consider sharing money on the Social Media. Always helps.

This is very very important. You'll need votes. Don't build a fan base of Agberos, Danfo Drivers and Paraga sellers. They won't vote for you. Have a fan base of people who use good smartphones and don't forget to have a fan page on Instagram with a catchy name for your followers...

8. Wink. Wink A LOT. And maybe get some Jerry Curls (this is optional)

9. Perform to an empty hall. You’ll get a Pity Headie. Guaranteed.

10. Finally, if you must wear an Agbada, PLEASE do not wear a black one. If you must wear a BLACK AGBADA, do not top it off with a Bowler Hat. AND IF YOU MUST TOP THE BLACK AGBADA OFF WITH A BOWLER HAT, DO NOT SAY THE WORDS Skiborobo Skibo Skibaraba Skiba.
