It seems there is about to be a beef brewing among video directors as TG Omori aroused reactions after he question a fan who stated that Director K is superior to him.

The drama began when he boasted about being the biggest music director in the country.

A Fan taking to his comment section wrote; “Bro Director K is bigger than you no cap”

In response, the music director told the fan to ‘Explain big’.

The music director then asserted that he is friends with the majority of Nigerian music video filmmakers and acknowledged their great talent, but insisted that none of them is superior to him.

Taking to his Twitter page on Thursday, TG Omori wrote, “every director na my guy and them sabi die but non “bigger” than boy.”

Fans crowded the comment area to refute him in response to his allegations, which drew criticism. Some maintained that Meji Alabi, Director K, Clarence Peters, and other well-known music video filmmakers were greater than him.

Angered by the counterblasts, Omori tweeted, “You can cry your tears here will check on them later, I have videos to edit.”

In a bid to quash the pandemonium, Director K pleaded with fans to cease fire, adding that TG Omori was family.

It seems that the music TV station, Soundcity have decided to take the advice popular Cinematographer, TG Omori gave them over crediting Video Directors in the “Video of the Year” category.

Recall that TG Omori took to his Instagram story to slam Soundcity for failing to give Music Video Directors their due.

The song names and pictures in the video category were those of the artists, not the directors of the videos.

TG Omori voiced his opinions on this choice via his Instagram account since he found it to be unsatisfactory.

On Sunday, January 22, 2023, on his Instagram story, TG Omori criticised Sound City for failing to give recognition to the video directors of the nominated videos and instead opting to do so for the performers.

The conduct, according to TG, was insulting, especially given that Soundcity is a TV channel whose major programming is music videos.

The ace director urged that the oversight be remedied and that the video directors be recognised in the only category in which they are eligible.

On Monday, Soundcity took to Instagram to post a new lineup for the Video of the Year category, this time crediting the directors of the videos.

In the category, Director K was nominated for Rema’s “Calm Down” video, TG Omori bagged three nominations for “Bandana”, “PBUY” and Kizz Daniel’s “Buga“, South African artist, Costa Titch bagged a spot on the category for his video, “Flexa”, Rex for Camidoh’s “Sugarcane remix”, Darion 4k for “Osama”, Ivan for Diamond Platnumz’s “Zuchu”, Blaqbonez and Perliks for “Back in Uni”, Top Shotta for Omah Lay’s “Soso“.

Along with the new music video, Reekado Banks posted the following message:

Growing up my parents always had positive things to say about Nigeria and beautiful stories of how Nigeria was developed with cash crops from different regions of the country North, South, East and Western region. But as we all know, a lot of that beauty appears to have gone behind the curtains. It’s sad, especially for a country with a growing, vibrant and brilliant youth population.

But I am still holding on to the idea of Nigeria that my parents planted in my heart. My hope is especially strengthened by the resilience of our actions and loudness of our voices during the EndSARS protests. The spirit of the Nigerian youth will not be suppressed by bad governance and the ruling class.

I am positive that Nigeria will be great again and again but we must continue to move as a united force to continue to demand good leadership and development for NIGERIANS ❤️. The most beautiful thing about us is even in the time of hardship no one can take away our smile and resolve. We will endure momentary sadness, but our joys will not be stripped from us and we will forge ahead with hope and dancing. New EP, out now. Ozumba Mbadiwe Video out now!!!. As you watch, so shall you understand my message.❤????????
