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.
What exactly am I trying to say? Davido earlier this year
signed Mayorkun, Dremo to his newly established music imprint DMW. Mayorkun is
undersized for the status of Headies ‘Next Rated’. He has in honesty had only
one single to his name. Prior to signing with DMW Mayorkun was not on the
Nigerian music radar. His run this year is one befitting the ‘Rookie of the
Year’ award. Next year might see him clinch the coveted ‘Next Rated’ if he puts
up a better performance than what he has done so far this year.
In the case of the golden boy Tekno and Falz both are oversized
for the award. I would really consider it that Tekno and Falz are too big for
the Headies ‘Next Rated’ award.
