Carter Efe, a popular skit maker and musician, has blasted Headies Awards organizers for nominating the late singer Mohbad.
Media Talk Africa reports that Mohbad was nominated for the 17th edition of the Headies in two categories – the Best Street-Hop Artiste of the year and the Viewers’ Choice Award for his collaboration with Chike.
The singer’s widow, Omowunmi and his son received the posthumous honour in Lagos on Sunday.
However, reacting to the development in a video sighted by Media Talk Africa on social media, Carter Efe on Monday accused the awards organisers of using Mohbad’s nomination to chase clout.
He stated that Headies has never given an award to Mohbad when he was alive, but are doing so now after his death.
He said in pidgin: “Why Headies dey misbehave now, them go dey nominate Mohbad? Wetin makes them nominate Mohbad? But when the boy was alive them no go give am o. Anything for the clout na him Headies go dey do.”
Media Talk Africa recalls that Mohbad who is yet to be buried, died in September 2023 under controversial circumstances.
