act, Tekno has been disqualified from the 2016 Headies 'Next Rated'
award category which is the only category the 24-year old was nominated
in.
Tekno
Sensational Nigerian artiste, Tekno has been withdrawn from the
prestigious Headies Award organised by HipTV to honour Nigerian
artistes.
According to reliable information obtained by Thenetng, the Headies
jury took the decision because he failed to participate in all of the
required activities leading up to the event.
Official emails between the organisers and the singer's reps
confirm all nominees for the category were required to take part in
promotional activities including photoshoots, interviews and more.
It was the only category Tekno was nominated in. He missed out on
major nominations including ‘Artiste of the Year’, which was the award
he was hoping to be nominated for.
Next Rated has always attracted controversies, because, pundits
say, it has become the most celebrated category, attracting a prize and
attention even the Artiste of the Year rarely gets. Many of today’s big
names got a prop on their way up from winning the Next Rated category.
But Tekno is the first to be disqualified in this manner.
