More outrage as Davido – He tells Kamala Harris…

He tells Kamala Harris to be proud of herself.

Following the recently concluded US presidential elections, Nigerian-American star Davido has taken to social media to commend the candidates, and his fans are not happy…yet again.

After Donald J. Trump was announced the winner of the election on November 6, 2024, Davido took to X to commend Kamala Harris.

He wrote, “Congratulations 47th POTUS @realDonaldTrump but you !! @KamalaHarris SHOULD BE PROUD!! YOU DID THAT ! A SOLID WOMAN.”

Trump, the Republican candidate, secured a landslide win against the incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat candidate. Harris amassed 67,957,895 votes while Trump had 72,641,564 votes, securing his win.

Just as the day before, Davido’s post was met with outrage by some of his fans and other X users who called him out for voting in the US election and not the Nigerian presidential election, which took place in 2023.

An X user wrote, “But David, you didn’t vote during our own elections.”

“Lol hypocrite no go focus on your mid-sound,” said another angered X user, slamming the afrobeats artiste.

“Try Dey rest guy,” another comment read.

Another person appealed to the singer, saying, “Talk about Nigeria, bro.”

Trump’s victory sparked various reactions internationally, across social media. Harris called to congratulate him and concede him and within time, the current president, Biden, also called Trump to congratulate him and to invite the president-elect to the White House, formally kicking off the transition ahead of Inauguration Day.

The Headies has unveiled the nominations for its 17th edition and it wasn’t without some surprise omissions.

The eligibility window for this award ceremony was fixed between April 1, 2023, and July 31, 2024. During this time, Nigerian artists released notable projects and records, many of which were nominated.

Like every award ceremony, some omissions sparked conversations, especially given the profile of the artists involved and the quality of the snubbed material. However, the Headies 17th edition suffers peculiar challenges notably because of the recurring delay in the ceremony and poor execution.

In this article, we considered some of the major snubs and misses from the 17th Headies Awards nominations list.

BEST RECORDING OF THE YEAR

TEMS – BURNING

SEYI VIBEZ – DIFFERENT PATTERN

BURNA BOY – HIGHER

AYRA STARR & GIVEON – LAST HEARTBREAK SONG

SARZ FEATURING LOJAY – BILLIONS

NOTABLE SNUBS: ASAKE‘Lonely At The Top’, ODUMODUBLVCK‘Blood On The Dance Floor’

Ahead of the awards predictions for this category favoured Asake‘s hit record ‘Lonely At The Top’ whose composition carries an imposing quality that made it the standout track from his sophomore album ‘Work Of Art’.

Also, OdumoduBlvck‘s ‘Blood On The Dance Floor’ is one of the most musically accomplished singles in the year in review and its omissions come as a surprise.

PRODUCER OF THE YEAR

SARZ – HAPPINESS

LONDON – OZEBA

MAGICSTICKS – BASQUIAT

REMA/PRODUCER X/CUBEATZ/DEATZ/KLIMPERBOY – HEHEHE

DIBS – DIFFERENT PATTERN

NOTABLE SNUBS: P.PRIIME, JAY SYNTHS, BLAISE BEATZ, KZITO

In the year in review, P.Priime had an emphatic run that included producing a bulk of Rema’s successful sophomore album ‘HEIS’. It comes as a shock that he couldn’t secure a spot among the nominees.

Jay Synths was the man behind Flavour‘s ‘Big Baller’ which earned two nominations including one for Song of the Year. He also produced one of the defining hits of 2023 in KCee’s ‘Ojapiano’. Many observers will find his omission puzzling.

Blaise Beatz produced one of the biggest hits of 2024 Kizz Daniel’s ‘Twe Twe’ whose beat richly explores Nigerian indigenous folk drums. However, this wasn’t enough for him to earn a nomination.

If musical accomplishment is a basis for nomination in this category, it’s also puzzling to see why KZITO wasn’t nominated for his contributions to Victony’s Album of the Year nominated project ‘Stubborn’ notable for the track ‘Pier 46’.
