SAN FRANCISCO, December 06, (THEWILL) – Nigerian rapper, Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, popularly called Vector, says he has since stopped entering for the Headies and other awards.
THEWILL had earlier reported about the nominations for popular Nigerian award, the Headies and the name of the rapper was missing from the shortlisted musicians.
Reacting, Vector took to his Twitter account on Saturday, saying he intentionally removed himself from awards of such nature because he doesn’t want to appear as if he wants to outdo other artists.
He also stated that he stopped competing with other rappers because he knows he can “easily beat them one on one”.
The rapper also disclosed he is matured now and awards don’t mean anything to him anymore, saying all he cares for now is to make music and not to chase money or clout.
He wrote: “Intentionally removed myself from the idea that I have to outdo mode9. It’s not necessary.
“Ask him about me in the studio and he will tell you. I don’t care about clout. I just want to make music. F*ck money too. That sh*t comes and goes anyway.
“I known how much my deal is worth as a rapper. But that’s not me because bragging only brings fake people around you anyways.
“Stay humble and live easy. Accolades are just accolades.
“Peace to everybody who deserves peace. As for the Headies, I stopped entering for it because I don’t want to compete with rappers (I can easily beat them on a one on one but that was Unilag).
“I’m grown now. Awards actually don’t mean anything to me anymore. Let new people win awards.”
