The 17th Headies Awards was held at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos on Sunday, April 27, 2025. The event was attended by prominent figures, including Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Juma Jux, Nancy Isime, and Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan.

Cubana Chief Priest, a prominent entrepreneur and socialite, was refused entry. The incident occurred due to his lack of an invitation card, sparking mixed reactions online.
A TikTok video shared by RommiRoyal TV showed Cubana Chief Priest in a dispute with security staff at the entrance as he attempted to enter the event.

Notwithstanding his extensive network and associations with notable artists, including a close relationship with Davido, he was not exempted to the strict invitation protocols.
Cubana Chief Priest’s experience at the event has sparked an online debate, with some defending the bouncers for adhering to their instructions, while others are questioning why he did not receive an invitation.
