TG Omori chastises a Twitter user for favoring Blaqbonez’ “Back in Uni” video over “Bandana”.
Nigerian music video director Thank-God Omori, known as TG Omori, found himself in a heated exchange with a Twitter user who celebrated one of Blaqbonez’s hit videos over his own work.
Blaqbonez had been nominated in the Best Music Video category at the upcoming Headies Awards, generating buzz around his video’s success.
The tension between TG Omori and Blaqbonez escalated when TG Omori declined a gig offer from the rapper due to a disagreement over pricing. Blaqbonez shared their conversation screenshot, sparking provocative reactions from internet users regarding the price issue and fueling a back-and-forth between the two celebrities.
Blaqbonez skillfully turned the situation into a PR opportunity and engaged an affordable director who agreed to co-direct with him. The resulting video for the hit song “Back in Uni” garnered significant streaming numbers, likely due to the controversy surrounding its inception.
The video’s success led to its nomination for an award at the prestigious Headies, surprising some fans. A random Twitter user expressed their astonishment at the nomination and called out TG Omori for rejecting Blaqbonez’s initial approach.
TG Omori’s reaction to the Twitter user’s comment demonstrated his displeasure towards Blaqbonez and the situation, indicating a sense of disapproval.
In his word, he said: “In your hearts of hearts. Even if them give you money will you pick BACK IN UNI over BANDANA video.”
