#OLIC3: “Why we didn’t cover Olamide’s concert” – HipTV

Posted on by

The Olamide-In-Concert was a huge success as artistes thrilled teeming fans into the late night.

 

However, there have been speculations making the rounds about a possible feud between the management of HipTV and indigenous rapper, Olamide after the mild drama that ensued at the 2015 Headies Awards. Note also that Olamide and his YBNL crew were conspicuously absent as there was widespread boycott from lots of artistes at the 2016 version of the Headies.

 

The HipTV management recently released a statement to clarify issues arising as a result of their non-coverage of the latest musical concert Olamide organized.

 

According to a statement they just released:

 

@baddosneh (Olamide) not attending #theheadies2016 had nothing to do with HipTv not covering OLIC3.

The organizers did not want the event live on TV. Unlike the last two, HipTv was not responsible for the production and this has nothing to do with our relationship with YBNL.

We are cool, as a matter of fact, we were in attendance.

Nigerian artiste, Wizkid has reacted to a trending video, where he ‘snubbed’, the fiancé of Eva Alordiah, Caesar.

 

In the video, Wizkid who was on his way to get a seat on arrival at The Headies appeared to have ‘snubbed’ Caesar, who tried to extend a warm greeting to him. The singer, however, went to greet Eva.

 

But, in a tweet, reacting to the video, Wizkid, said, “Honestly didn’t see my man! Love always!”

 

Top Nigerian artistes boycott Headies Awards as winners emerge

The 2016 Headies has come and gone leaving in its trails several remarkable memories.

Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi, and artiste, Falz, anchored the award show, which ended end in the early hours of Friday.

The show, which was held at Eko Convention Center, Victoria Island, Lagos, saw Kiss Daniel clinch three awards out of the five categories he was nominated in.

Wizkid won the Artist of the Year award at The Headies 2016.

However, one thing that clearly stood out at the glamourous event was the fact that Nigerian artistes boycotted the 2016 Headies in their numbers.

Notable absentees were the entire members of Mavin Records and YBNL Records, led by Don Jazzy and Olamide respectively. Don Jazzy and Olamide had a bitter spat at the previous edition.

Their nonappearance was so glaring with numerous nominees and awardees absent at the awards. So much so that the presenters had to collect the awards on their behalf backstage.

Simi failed to claim her award for “Best Vocal Performance”, Kiss Daniel failed to claim an award, and so did Illblisss who was a big winner in two categories.

Patoranking who won the Best Reggae/Dancehall single was absent, and Olamide, who won two awards, was no where to be seen.

Big winners on the night include Darey, Illbliss, Kiss Daniel and Mr Eazi, who won the Next Rated category.

One of Nigeria’s prestigious music awards, through the years, The Headies, has been dubbed Nigeria’s Grammy.

Sadly, the award is fast losing its prestige as it has been fraught with several allegations and controversies ranging from favouritism, prejudgment and being compromised.

Ahead of the awards, Nigerian music sensation, Tekno, was disqualified from the highly coveted “Next Rated” category.

Tekno had lambasted the organisers for including him in the category.

In an Instagram post made about a month ago, he said, “Next rated after how many years! Let’s be honest pls”.

Clarence Peters also condemned the nominee list.
