Reports reaching us says that music star, Burna Boy was seen leaving The Headies 2013 after Afro pop star Sean Tizzle was announced as the winner of the Next Rated Category.
The event held on December 26, at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island Lagos.
The award majorly given to newcomers in the industry came with the prize of a N6.5 million and Sean Tizzle clinched the coveted award.
According to Bella Naija:
As soon as Sean Tizzle was announced as the winner, Burna Boy left the venue, telling photographers including BellaNaija’s not to take his photos.
Our photographer captured images of a not-so-happy Burna Boy all dressed in black leaving the venue.
Some industry insiders at the event were overheard saying Burna Boy deserved the award more than his fellow nominees including Sean Tizzle, Dammy Krane, Seyi Shay and Phyno.
They went on to speculate that Burna Boy didn’t win the award because he is a GLO ambassador and the awards show is sponsored by a fellow telecommunications company MTN Nigeria.
