Popular radio host Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode, known as Do2dtun, has called out reality TV star Whitemoney for making tribal comments during the 17th Headies Awards.
Whitemoney had received the Afrobeats Single of the Year award on behalf of singer Flavour at the event held at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos. During his speech, he said he was on stage “on behalf of the Igbos,” which upset many viewers.
Some people felt that Whitemoney’s comment was unnecessary and divisive, suggesting that it limited Flavour’s achievement to only one ethnic group, rather than celebrating it as a win for all fans of Afrobeats.
Do2dtun agreed with this view. He criticized Whitemoney on his X (formerly Twitter) account, saying, “‘On behalf of the Igbos.’ I am sorry, that was so unnecessary. It didn’t need that type of narrative. It’s an award won by an African; for Afrobeat and a Nigerian. #headies2025”
Many fans believe awards like the Headies should unite people, not divide them along tribal lines.
