Carter Efe, the comedian-turned-musician, has been making waves in the Nigerian music industry with his hit song “Machala.”
The song, which is a tribute to Wizkid, has been praised for its catchy melody and relatable lyrics.
However, Efe was not nominated for any awards at the 2023 Headies Awards. This has led to some controversy, with some people arguing that Efe’s song was snubbed.
There are a few reasons why Efe might not have been nominated for a Headies Award.
First, the song was released relatively late in the year. The Headies Awards are typically held in December, and “Machala” was only released in October. This means that the song did not have as much time to build up momentum as other songs that were released earlier in the year.
Second, Efe is a relatively new artist. He only released his debut single in 2022, and he does not have the same level of name recognition as some of the other artists who were nominated for awards at the Headies.
Finally, some people have argued that “Machala” is not a particularly original song. The melody and lyrics of the song have been compared to other songs by Wizkid and other Nigerian artists.
Despite these factors, there are also some reasons why Efe’s song might have deserved a Headies Award nomination. “Machala” was a commercial success, and it was one of the most popular songs in Nigeria in 2022. The song also received positive reviews from critics, who praised its catchy melody and relatable lyrics.
Ultimately, whether or not “Machala” deserved a Headies Award nomination is a matter of opinion. However, there is no doubt that the song was a commercial and critical success. It is possible that Efe will be nominated for awards in the future, as he continues to grow as an artist.
Meanwhile, Carter Efe, the comedian-turned-musician, has given Headies 24 hours ultimatum to update their nominee list and add him.
