The annual prestigious Nigerian Music Awards the Headies ‘Next Rated‘ category not fit for Mayorkun, Tekno and Falz.
The Headies Awards 2015 edition was outright born out of controversies. First, it had to be the rescheduling of the event which rightly ought to be held in 2015, to January 1st 2016. Then the infamous tantrum by YBNL leader Olamide when his protege Lil Kesh failed to pick up the coveted ‘Next Rated’ award. A full blown drama ensued when Don Jazzy – who felt slighted by Olamide’s remarks – sensed the need to address sentiments.
The headies fiasco set the turn for the music industry for in 2016. Davido who supposedly was in favour of Lil Kesh grabbing the award made a bold statement which had gone around the media. He threatened to “pull a Kanye” (or Olamide) if his new artiste does not pick up same award.
Fast forward to the present, Davido’s new signee Mayorkun does not deserve the Headies ‘Next Rated’ award. That is just exactly the same way I feel TripleMG Tekno, or even sensational rapper Falz are misfit for the spot.
Don’t shoot me until you’ve read my opinion.
