The awards ceremony, which took place on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, attracted top music stars, entertainment industry figures, and dignitaries.
However, a surprising twist occurred when the hotelier turned singer, known for his larger-than-life persona and support for Nigerian artists, was allegedly denied entry into the main event hall.
A now-viral video circulating on social media platforms showed the moment CP, as he is also fondly called, was stopped by security personnel at the entrance.
In the clip, the businessman could be seen engaging in what appeared to be a conversation with security operatives, seemingly trying to gain access. While the exact reason for the incident remains unconfirmed, unverified reports suggest that the issue may have been related to accreditation or invitation protocol.

Despite the hoopla, Cubana Chiefpriest remains unmoved, as evidenced by his most recent Instagram post.
The entertainment hypeman uploaded a video of himself shaking hands with Lagos state Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, which proved his attendance at the Headies Awards.
Also, the socialite thanked his followers for their support following his recent performance in Eyinmba, and announced the release of new music.
