Popular Nigerian rapper, Magnito,
has reacted to his colleague, Oladips’ diss track about his exclusion from the Headies Awards nomination list.
It all started when the Headies announced nominees for the 2025 edition, scheduled for April 5.
Oladips name was noticeably missing from the ‘Best Rap Single’ category.
Speaking through a diss track on his Instagram page, Oladips vented his annoyance at the award organisers.
“@theheadies make I school una real quick cos una just dey wurugbon l’enu. It doesn’t get more hip hop than this,” he rapped.
Reacting to the development during an interview with HipTV, Magnito seemingly took a jab at Oladips.
Magnito said, “For him to have dropped a diss track about that category, that shows he needs the award more than all of us nominated. HipTV would have just tried, at least put one of his own songs there to makes him happy because I think he is hardworking too.
“But at times all of this stuff depends on what your priority is. If I don’t find my name there, I wouldn’t be bothered because my priority is how to get more of the gigs that I get because I love money. But when I saw my name there, I saw how important it was for my name to be there.
“Oadips might end up dropping a diss track for all of us in that category. I have seen HipTV categories before where I didn’t see my name there.”
Media Talk Africa reports that rappers nominated for the 17th Headies Awards include Magnito, Ladipoe, Odumodublvck, and Jeriq.
