The nominees for the Rookie of the Year category were announced by the organizers in order to announce the deadline for submitting projects and songs for the award, even though an official date for the award presentation itself has not yet been set.

I believe the expectation generally was for OdumoduBlvck to get a Next Rated nomination, not a Rookie of the year nomination.

They don't even rate Lade in this music industry. Or is there more to an artiste getting nominated for the headies besides their music? I'm just curious

Odumodu Black is easily rookie of the year in my books. He has had a good year. And it would be disappointing if he doesn't win that award in the next Headies. Bayanni doesn't stand a chance. Apart from Mavins tax, that guy is yet to really impress me.

This might just be the tightest Headies Rookie of the Year nominees list ever. Everybody has a case. You might even argue that some of them deserve to be on the Next Rated list.
May the best man or woman win! pic.twitter.com/vD8a0bP23Z
