Sean Tizzle beats Phyno, Burna boy, Dammy Krane and Seyi Shay to win the Next Rated award at The Headies Awards 2013 held at Oriental Hotel, Lekki, Lagos on Thursday, December 26.
Tizzle, who out of over excitement prostrated on stage when he was pronounced winner of the category, becomes the owner of the grand prize, brand new Hyundai ix35 SUV.
‘I’m so speechless right now. I’m feeling on top of the world. This is something out of this world. I just want to thank God, my family, my fans, my team, my label boss and everyone,’ the Sho lee star tells HipHopWorld magazine at the awards night.
The brand new car comes less than three weeks after Sean Tizzle bought himself a 2014 model Chevrolet Camaro RS. With the Hyundai ix35 joining his fleet, the young man’s garage has just become colorful.
The Next Rated category is arguably the most famous and keenly contested category in the Headies Awards. The category, which is meant to spotlight the next artiste to make a mark in the mainstream, was one of the pioneer categories when the Headies was established in 2006.
The likes of Wande Coal, Wizkid, Davido and Omawumi are past winners of The Headies Next Rated award.
