On Sunday, April 27, 2025, at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, celebrity entrepreneur and socialite Cubana Chief Priest experienced humiliation when he was denied entry to the 17th Headies Awards.
The incident happened because he didn’t have an invitation card, leading to mixed reactions online.
Cubana Chief Priest was captured in a viral video on rommiroyal TV’s TikTok arguing with security at the entrance as he tried to enter the event.
Even with his high-profile life and connections to top artists, including being close friends with Davido, he was not exempt from the strict invitation protocol.
Lagos governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Juma Jux, Nancy Isime, and Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan were among the prominent figures who attended the Headies ceremony.
Prominent victors are Odumodublvck, Late Mohbad, Davido, Tems, and Rema.
The Cubana Chief Priest’s ordeal at the event has ignited an online debate, with some defending the bouncers for adhering to orders and others questioning why he was not invited.
