“I want to be recognized at Headies Award for what I’ve done. Remember say na passion first of all” – BBNaija’s Laycon to organizers

Nigerian singer and reality star, Laycon has called out the organisers of Headies Award after they completely ignored him.

It could be recalled that on May 24th,the list of nominees for 2022 Headies Award was released.

Unfortunately, Laycon wasn’t nominated in any category.

Reacting to this in a series of tweet, Laycon stated that he wants to be recognized for his crafts even when he doesn’t win an award.

The music star stated that though, he isn’t a fan of judging people with the adjective “Best”, he sees award as a compliment.

That is, he sees it as something that tells him that people see the work he has done and should put in more efforts.

He added that emotions set in when one work hard and don’t get recognition for their work.

Laycon noted that as someone who come from a very poor background, many people thinks he don’t deserve what he has and because of this, he had to work harder to prove them wrong.

However, he feels hurt when his effort in the music industry is not recognized.

In his words;

“I have never been a fan of judging people with the adjective “BEST”, however I see awards as a compliment, something to tell you “Hey! We see everything you’ve done and we think you should get this for your efforts”. This doesn’t mean every other person didn’t put in work!!!.

Even TV stations, radio stations, OAP’s etc get awards for their efforts, doesn’t take away from the worm every media body or personnel put into growing the industry tbh, but when you work hard and you feel like you don’t get recognition for your work your emotions set in.

But no be everybody go win award, no be everybody Dem go nominate go still complain of no be them collect the award because everyone works hard af to get themselves to that point.

I dey emotional so I no go lie say a part of me no want award, because for someone coming from where I came from, a lot of people thinks I don’t deserve half of what I have and what I’m getting, so I’ve had to do double of whatever it is you’re supposed to do in this industry.

But forget about Laycon, the artist who went to BBN to promote himself and his music and ended up winning the show for once.

Y’all need go look inward, all of us wey dey do music and wet dey consume the music con dey pick the best of the music and musicians, lol”.
