Invitation Protocol Prevails: Cubana Chief Priest Denied Entry to Headies Awards.
The recently concluded 17th Headies Awards witnessed an unexpected incident involving socialite and entrepreneur, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest. Despite his high profile and connections within the entertainment industry, Mr. Okechukwu was reportedly denied entry to the prestigious event held at the Landmark Event Centre on Sunday, April 27, 2025.
Sources indicate that the denial stemmed from Mr. Okechukwu’s lack of a formal invitation. A video circulating online depicts him engaged in a discussion with security personnel at the entrance. This event has sparked considerable debate, with commentators weighing the importance of adhering to established event protocols regardless of social standing. The Headies Awards, attended by dignitaries such as Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, operated under a strict invitation-only policy, highlighting the organizers’ commitment to maintaining order and exclusivity. The incident serves as a reminder that even established figures are subject to prescribed event entry procedures.
