Socialite Denied Entry to Star-Studded Event Amid Invitation Controversy
The 17th Headies Awards took an unexpected turn when celebrity bartender and socialite Cubana Chief Priest was reportedly refused entry to Sunday night’s prestigious ceremony. The incident, captured in a now-viral video, shows the flamboyant personality engaged in tense discussions with security personnel at the Landmark Event Centre entrance in Lagos.
Eyewitnesses claim the popular nightlife figure, known for his extravagant parties and celebrity connections, was barred from entering the venue due to apparent lack of proper invitation credentials. The video footage shows Cubana Chief Priest, dressed in his signature stylish attire, gesturing animatedly while event security stands firm at the doors.
This year’s Headies ceremony brought together Nigeria’s biggest music stars and industry elite to celebrate outstanding achievements in African music. While the night honored artists like Rema, Tems, and Odumodublvck, the exclusion of the high-profile socialite became an unexpected talking point across social media platforms.
Event organizers have yet to officially comment on the incident, leaving fans speculating about whether this was a simple oversight or a deliberate exclusion. The Headies traditionally maintains strict access protocols, with invitations typically required for entry to the exclusive awards show.
As the video continues circulating online, reactions have been mixed – with some questioning the need for such stringent measures while others defend the organizers’ right to control venue access. The incident has nonetheless added an unexpected layer of drama to what was already one of Nigeria’s most anticipated entertainment events of the year.
