The post The 15th Headies Call for Entries begins appeared first on The Headies.

She is admired by many for the transformation of her passion into an avenue for world-class entertainment and development of both young and old. Although she wanted to become an aeronautical engineer, for circumstances stemming from the hard knocks of life, she decided to focus on dancing and empowering people through it.

Kaffy shot into the limelight after breaking the Guinness World Record for ‘Longest Dance Party’. She is presently blessed with two kids.

Here Are 3 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Kaffy:

1. Did You Know She Was “Dis-daughtered” By Her Father?

Kaffy narrated how she was disowned by her father in one of her interviews saying, “It all got to that part where I was dis-daughtered, I lost friends. I had friends who said “My mother said we should not play with you again because you are a dancer” … I chose dance when it was socially, culturally, religiously not acceptable to be a dancer. Dance had almost zero economic value.”

Following the remarkable highlight, she had set foot in since 2006, her dad became proud of her and said, “That’s my daughter!”.

He also encouraged her to keep dancing.

2. Did You Know She Battled Depression At A Point In Her Life?

Kaffy has always buttressed on how dance has empowered her and made her into whom she is today. One of the ways is that dance helped her “tackle depression”. With all the family drama she had going on at the time, she fell into depression, but with dance, she was able to overcome it.

She once said, “Dance continues to remind me that you should not let your problem define you”, and she was able to overcome her depression.

This should remind you of the scribe quoted on Headies Secretariat’s wall that says: “Don’t give up. It won’t be easy but it would be worth it.”

This is another reason why Headies has been consistent for over 15 years. The journey has not been easy, but every time we look at the impact it’s having on the youths, our fans, the music & creative industry worldwide, then it is surely worth it.

3. Did You Know She Was Separated From Her Sister For 22 Years And Later Got Reunited Through Facebook

In her book, Alajota, she narrated how she was disconnected from the last born of her family for 22 years. At nine months old, the girl was nowhere to be found. They were not together for years but after she broke the Guinness World Record and the news went viral, her sister used Facebook to trail her down and they got reunited after a long period. Kaffy regards Facebook as a tool to bring the world together.

This is also a reminder for you that the 15^th Headies is confirmed to be happening at Cobb Energy Performing Centre, Atlanta USA, but that doesn’t stop you as a Headies & Entertainment lover from tuning in & connecting with us LIVE across all our Social Media platformS (YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram) to stream your most-loved Headies Award Event. – @the_Headies on IG

Premium SUVs from BMW, Lincoln, Cadillac, and Mercedes-Benz offer plenty of comfort and convenience, but don’t serve up luxury like the 2022 Bentley Bentayga.

With either a V-8 or W-12 engine under the hood the Bentayga has the muscle for sustained high-speed cross-country touring. And behind its rear seat is a cargo hold with enough square footage for a high-speed shopping spree. The posh cabin is lined with supple, aromatic leather, gorgeous wood- and-metal accents, and every modern infotainment feature buyers expect of a cutting edge motorcar. The Bentayga’s class-above intentions—and six-figure price tag—put it into competition with the equally princely Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Since the Bentayga’s 443-hp hybrid powertrain is on hiatus for the 2022 model year, the 542-hp twin-turbo V-8 is the entry-level engine. The Bentayga Speed ups the ante with a 626-hp W-12. Back in 2017, when the Speed made 600 ponies, this supersmooth powerhouse delivered a 3.6-second result in our 60-mph test. The W-12’s power delivery is creamier than the V-8’s, and its performance felt more robust during passing maneuvers. Bentley claims that the Bentayga Speed, with a claimed top speed of 190 mph, is the fastest SUV in the world (although the Lamborghini Urus might have something to say about that). Regardless of what’s under the hood, all Bentaygas utilize an eight-speed automatic transmission and come standard with all-wheel drive.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Filled with rich-smelling leathers, real wood trim, and glitzy metal accents, the Bentayga’s cabin stays true to its luxury branding. Bentley allows buyers to customize just about everything. Buyers can opt for front and rear buckets, seating four, or they can select a three-across second-row bench and a pop-up two-seat third row to seat seven. While the rear seat doesn’t feel as lavish as that of the Bentayga’s key rival—the Rolls-Royce Cullinan—it still offers plenty of space for adult passengers to stretch out. Several different colors of leather upholstery are available, as are two different mother-of-pearl-faced Breitling dash clocks, a bottle cooler for rear-seat passengers, adjustable ambient interior lighting, and even a safe with a biometric lock and fingerprint reader. The Bentayga’s cargo area is generous, at least in two-row versions; we were able to fit nine carry-on suitcases back there.
