Talented pop singer, Kiss
Daniel has issued a statement on
his loss of the highly contended
‘Next Rated’ award at The
Headies which took place on
January 1 at the Landmark Events
Centre.
The ‘Laye’ crooner who lost out to Mavin Records act Reekado
Banks thanked his fans for their
support .
Recall that Olamide blasted the
organisers of the awards for not
recognising his protege, Lil Kesh
as the Next Rated Artiste. The
category was won by Reekado
Banks of Don Jazzy’s Mavins.
In the open letter he wrote that no
award beats the support and love
of his fans.
You can read his letter below;
When I opened my social
media accounts this morning, it
was humbling for me to see that
so many people believe that I
deserve recognition for the work
I was able to do last year by the
grace of God. But like Thomas a
Kempis famously wrote; 'Man
proposes, but God disposes'. To
see that fans across different
social audiences appreciate the
efforts I put into making my
music is one I will never look
down upon, no award beats that,
and I hope to be able to repay
this confidence in good time.My
fans have been the most
amazing source of inspiration
for me, and I promise never to
let you down. From the days
when I was nobody in this
industry, to song after song that
you have helped become hits, I
say God bless you for all the
support.To be honest, it was
quite heartbreaking to find out
that I did not get the particular
recognition I so much craved,
but I am excited that it only
means I need to work harder,
and that 2016 will be a bigger
year for me.In 2015, some of the
awards I won with your support
include; 'Best New Act' at the
Nigerian Entertainment Awards
(NEA), Next Rated Artiste of The
Year at the Extreme Awards in
Benin Republic, AFRIMA Awards
Most Promising Act in Africa.I
also found out I was one of the
top 5 Google Top Trending
Nigerian Musicians. For an
artiste with less than 10 songs
to my name, I think this is
enough for me to congratulate
myself upon.This year 2016 is
going to be bigger and better;
my debut album drops this year,
and with the work put into it by
myself, my team, and that of the
artistes magnanimous enough to
feature on it, I am positive that
this will be the year.I also want
to use this opportunity to tell the
fans to look out for the
forthcoming single of my label
mate and brother 'Sugarboy'
dropping in few days from now,
as we at G-Worldwide
Entertainment will continue to
bring you good music.I thank
you all; my fans for always
supporting me, the media
platforms who continue to keep
me in the public's mind, the
industry seniors who have made
it their job to guide and mentor,
and the members of my team
who work behind the scenes to
make sure I keep my head level
and continue to make great
music. Special shoot-out to my
label boss 'Emperor Geezy' who
continues to bring the best out
of me.I wish you all a happy
New Year, and hope you have a
good time in 2016.ANIDUGBE
