- Lasisi Elenu arrived late
Popular Nigerian Instagram comedian , Lasisi Elenu arrived late to this year’s edition of the Headies.

- Khloe caught smoking
With all of the negative health issues that go along with smoking cigarettes, it is hard to believe that many celebrities still have the habit. BBNaija 2018 former housemate, Khloe hid in the corner of the passage that leads to the VIP section of the hall and was caught smoking like a chimney.
Our reporter deduced that she doesn’t want to be discovered for fear of being condemned.

- Tiwa Savage glorifies Codeine during headies performance
The ban on codeine by the federal government has sparked mixed reactions across the country. The Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, who gave the directive, said the move became necessary due to the gross abuse of codeine in the country.
It was appalling when Tiwa Savage mounted the stage alongside Reminisce and DJ Enimoney performing a song called ‘Codeine Diet’, at the headies, glorifying the use of codeine in the public glare. We expect more from Tiwa Savage and Reminisce based on the fact that they sit on hallowed seats as role models and influencers.
