Shallipopi Vows to Boycott The Headies After Embarrassing Moment
Nigerian artist Shallipopi has said he will no longer attend future editions of The Headies after an awkward experience at the 17th edition held in Lagos on Sunday.
Shallipopi, who was nominated for the highly competitive Next Rated award but lost to his close associate Odumodublvck, seemed to get a bit of hope when his track ‘Cast’ was announced as the Best Rap Single of the Year.
However, when he got on stage to accept the award, the presenter simply shook his hand without giving him the actual plaque. Reports later revealed that the organisers had run out of plaques midway through the event.
Taking to his X page on Monday, Shallipopi expressed his frustration and said he would be boycotting the event going forward. He added that he didn’t even want the Best Rap Single award because he doesn’t see himself as a rapper, suggesting it should have gone to one of the real rappers in the category. “The next one if una see me make I bend,” he posted.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
