The Story They Tried to Bury — “CLUB NIKKI’S”
Once upon a time in Charlotte, North Carolina, one man changed the meaning of nightlife. Cory “Dolla Bill” Headen didn’t just open a club — he created a sanctuary for the “streets”.
Club Nikki’s was the place — where celebrities pulled up in Bentleys, hustlers popped champagne next to nine-to-fivers celebrating a random Wednesday night, and dancers lit up the stage like it was Vegas in the Carolinas. Every night was a movie — music, money, and movement that brought every demographic, every culture, every dreamer under one roof. But when something grows that powerful, it shakes the system. Suddenly, taxes rose, accusations flew, and the city made it clear: they wanted Club Nikki’s gone.
In the end, Cory didn’t fold — he stayed open against all odds.
He kept the lights on and later
flipped the script
. He sold the very land Club Nikki’s stood on to the City of
Charlotte, and today, that ground fuels Charlotte Douglas
International Airport — the same city that tried to ground him now
takes flight from his legacy.
This documentary uncovers everything : the rise, the reign, the dancers, the danger, and the downfall. It’s more than a nightlife story — it’s a story of power, race, politics, and perseverance.
We’re raising $20,000 to produce this documentary — to bring back the legends, the lights, and the legacy of Club Nikki’s before it’s lost to history. Because if you thought Magic City was the story… wait till you hear what really went down at Club Nikki’s...
