Rap album nd Lyricst on the Roll.


ILLSHIT



am I seeing what am sawing

I think those who are criticising Ayo Animashaun, whose company organises the award should cut him some slack.

I don't support mediocrity, but this guy has paid his dues in the industry. Its not easy organising an ordinary birthday for your one-year-old sef.

Everybody knows how difficult things are right now. Advertisers and sponsors are drastically cutting their budgets for sponsorship of such shows.

MAMA, MTV, BET, AMVCA etc are big budget events running into millions of dollars, yet Ayo scrapes himself every year to make sure this event to recognize Nigerian artists is held every year. Kudos bro.

If we don't support our own, nobody will. Hopefully, he will take the criticisms in his strides and improve next year.

And these same artists he has supported all through decided to shun his event. What could he have done? Go and force them out from their houses?

Its easy to hold your phone in the room and deride someone else's sweat. Enough of the mockery.

For those mentioning Tekno, in every game there are rules.

Tekno had a good year, but he has no album and from what I learnt, as far as you dont have an album, even if you have spent 29 years in the industry, you are still next rated.

Pana is definitely a good song, probably the biggest, but Bobo yen proud jor. He should go and sit down.

No award for Vic O?

Rubbish headies.

Not bad. But I hate the boycotts

I know some people will be happy with this award and recipients this time..Their sons got a fair share.

Not surprised the two awards given to a certain Illy were non voting categories. Coz Nigerians in their right senses would forever pick my who u epp over illy.

But If them give am now,them go say na plan work.

Ill bliss deserves it

YAGI And Adekunle Okay o



No Rukkie??

Look at all these people above me claiming judge with their c3 and x2...

Phyno this.... Mr Eazi that.... Adekunle Gold this.... Simi that.... This.....that.....that......this...

Lol

Those musicians that didn't show up are arrogant, especially marvin crew. They are feeling like heaven and earth then forget nothing last forever. No matter the way things are, always show respect.

In everything you do always remain humble.

Those artists that didn't show up are all hypocrite! How much is their networth Are they up to $500k? No!

boooo

This headies is turning to something else..aw can illbliss win 2 awards. ...I don't feel d guy at all..but since the category is non voting category. .am sensing something.The moment they called him self, the crowd was dead.no reaction 4 him..i even heard someone saying "2nd award"....good an mr eazi won sha since tekno i no more there..Adekunle gold......am xo xo sorry 4 u..U deserved something sha bt that's life...Anyone feeling that dremo should b part of next rated category. ...feeling sorrt 4 yung6ix too coz am feeling dat his song"respek on my name"

issorait

ok

So Adekunle Gold no win any....issorai.
