Nigerian singer, Shallipopi has slammed organisers of
premier Afrobeats award, The Headies.
He vowed never to attend such an event again.
This comes after having an embarrassing moment at the
17th edition in Lagos on Sunday.
Shallipopi, who lost the keenly contested Next Rated
category to his frequent collaborator, Odumodublvck,
thought he had gotten a consolation when his song ‘Cast’
was announced as the winner of the Best Rap Single of
the Year.

However, on getting to the stage to receive his award, the
presenter simply gave Shallipopi a handshake as the
organisers reportedly ran out of award plaques midway
into the ceremony.
Speaking about the embarrassing incident on his X page
on Monday, Shallipopi vowed to boycott the award
ceremony henceforth.
He claimed that he didn’t even want the award for the
Best Rap Single as he doesn’t consider himself a rapper.
He urged the organisers to give it to the “real rappers” in
the category.
The music star wrote, “The next one if una see me make I
bend.
“I nor go even lie for una sef, I nor want that award. Give the
real rappers wey dey the category. Me, Shallipopi I nor be
rapper.”
