“Music has got me fame but not fortune.On Headies not nominating him for any award Modenine says…
The kind of song I do is hip-hop in its pure essence and the truth is that most Nigerians do not like it.
I can eat three times in a day; I am not hungry but I am not as comfortable as I would love to be.
However, the book has not ended, so let’s see what happens. Music has got me more fame than fortune,” he said.
“I don’t feel bad that I was not nominated in the Lyricist on the Roll category during this year’s Headies because even the sun and moon rotate the time they are meant to.- See more at: http://www.naijaloaded.com.ng/2014/12/20/im-famous-without-fortune-rapper-modenine-laments/#sthash.4AkxLwx8.dpuf
I don’t do music with awards in mind; I just try and make good albums.
I don’t mind if I am not nominated again for the next Headies because I was getting tired of being nominated for the lyricist on the roll category year in year out.
I am even happy that I was not nominated.”
