Soundcity MVP 2017: Davido’s Producer, Kiddominant Blasts Organisers
Producer, Kiddominant, who lost out to Young John as the Producer of the year at the Soundcity MVP 2017, has blasted the organisers of the awards ceremony.
The reason for the producer’s rant is suspected to be because he lost the title for ‘producer of the year’ to YBNL’s Young John.
The producer recorded several hit songs in the year under review, hit songs including Davido‘s Fall, Mayorkun‘s Mama and Che Che.
Some of his followers seems to share his view. They conveyed their thoughts in tweets and stated that Kiddominant deserved the award.
The producer tweeted,
Don’t put me in your shit if it’s not legit!
