Don Jazzy

It was an amazing night for the near legendary singer and Hypertek frontman, Innocent ‘Tuface’ Idbia has carted away most of the plaques from the 2011 Headies. The well dressed crooner was a sight to behold on stage as he walked up to take the plaques. From jokes about ‘it wasn’t me’ comment to Record breaking dancer Kaffy’s pregnancy and the respect bestold on him by Don Jazzy – who by the way spoken at a gathering of this size. Wizkid won the NExt rated category, host eLDee the don won the new category – Conscious music of the year which got a $10,000 prize money, Sir Shina Peters on the Headies hall of fame and Tuface’s win for artiste of the year. Just before we give the full list of winner, the pairing of Rita Dominic and eLDee the don as host was the worst the award has got, Rita was bland and wasn’t connecting with the audience, Dr. Sid’s performance was a sham – first it was thought to be theatrical when he stood on stage with the lights dimmed in an awful costume and music refusing to come on, only for it to happen minutes later and he was unable to move and was forced to cut the performance short, got angered and soon as he got off the stage, screaming ‘fuck you!’. The Headies took place with the MTN branded yello red carpet missing and this edition didn’t beat its previous. Memories of this edition won’t linger for a long time.
