Popular Nigerian skit maker and content creator, Habeeb Hamsat, also known as Peller, has openly expressed his disappointment after being unable to livestream the 17th Headies Awards.
The ceremony was held on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos.
In a video clip that surfaced online, Peller, looking visibly dejected, explained that despite making every effort to stream the prestigious event for his followers, several barriers were intentionally placed in his way by people he had trusted to assist him.
He lamented,
“I have put it on my channel. People were like Peller, your glory no reach Headies. I am not happy at all.”

According to the content creator, certain individuals he approached for support at the venue refused to cooperate and instead imposed unreasonable “terms and conditions” that made it impossible for him to work.
He stated in the emotional clip,
“Some people don’t want to help me. They are not ready to help. They are wicked. They came to me, but they were not replying me. They were giving terms and conditions. Don’t worry, it is nothing.”
He also noted that beyond the streaming disappointment, many of the celebrities he had looked forward to seeing at the event were absent, further dampening his spirit.
He added,
“All the celebrities I wanted to see did not come. If it were to be Grammy now, I would have been more pained.”

Security bounces Cubana Chiefpriest from Headies
TheTalk.NG, meanwhile, reported that socialite, Cubana Chiefpriest, was denied entry to the Headies Awards.
In a video, the hotelier-turned-singer made frantic efforts to get his pass from the security personnel.
It could not be ascertained why CP, as he is fondly called, was denied, but social media users believe it could be as a result of event protocol.
