However, while he heading to the awards where he was nominated for certain categories and was scheduled to make a performance, Maleek Berry had a scary experience that almost took the life of a close one.
A friend of his began convulsing and hit the floor hard, but was saved with the intervention of God and people such as Omawumi and Waje.
He shared the experience on Twitter, writing:
“I want 2 take this time to thank God for someone very close to me’s life. Just 2 minutes before we were about to go into the Headies, he started convulsing and hit the floor hard. Lost so much blood thank God for quick intervention and Waje and Omawumi for your help.
“The system needs to be fixed! The ambulance outside didn’t even have a driver to take us to the hospital at the time all this was happening. We had to take the hotel shuttle Instead and rush to the nearest hospital.
“We spent 2hours to get him stabilized, after which I virtually rushed back down to the Headies in time for my performance. My mind wasn’t even there but I want to thank everyone that stood up and everybody cheering at home , you don’t know what’s that meant for me at that time.
“Special thanks to the first responders. God will bless you all in the end when it’s all said and done, God, family and love is all we got. Seeing the way people helped yesterday through all that madness was the highlight of my night. One Love always.”
