Smooth Promotions, organisers of The Headies Awards, have announced that fast rising singer, Chuddy K, has been dropped from the Next Rated category of this year’s edition of the awards .
The organizers took the decision because Chuddy K had previously released an album entitled “I Am Me” in 2010 and the major requirement for nominees is that s/he must be an unreleased artiste as at nomination period.
Judges of the prestigious annual music awards have since replaced him with talented rapper, Flowssick.
Following the rules of the Next Rated category over the years, the award is for the most promising upcoming officially unreleased act in the year under review. The prize for this category is a brand new car. Past winners include Wande Coal, Asa, Skuki, Overdose, Omawumi and Wizkid.
The new nominees are now Davido, Eva Alordiah, Praiz and Flowssick.
The Headies 2012 will hold at the Eko Hotels and Suites, in Lagos on Sunday, October 20, 2012. M.I and Omawumi will host the event.
