With all the talk on cheating surrounding the recently concluded controversial Headies award, I was expecting this to come up a little sooner.

The CEO of HIP TV and The Headies, Mr. Ayo Animashaun has decided to speak up on alleged claims that the award which held in December 2013 was dictated by the lead sponsor of the show making it a monotonous award as only Artistes who were ambassadors of the lead sponsor of the event were able to take home awards.

Ayo shed more light on these allegations as he denied them in a recent interview with Encomium Magazine.

Read excerots below: –

 “I dont like to add my words to what is not valid or baseless. It is just a waste of time. Some people do not think before they talk. In the first instance, MTN was not the major sponsor. You saw Airtel everywhere. Olamide that won the biggest award of the night is an Etisalat Ambassador. When people’s argument is baseless, I don’t join issues with them. I just look and laugh. People don’t really do their own homework, they just talk. Wizkid’s Jaiye Jaiye came out in August and the year in review stopped in July. How is it supposed to qualify? The year in review started March 2012 to June 2013. At that period, Jaiye Jaiye was not out. We were too busy to be distracted by any critics. Some people can talk and we are not the only people that started the journey”.
