The Headies music awards is ongoing, with a good bit of drama. No, not the fights that accompanied last year’s awards. Something else entirely. A boycott.

Ladies and gentlemen, a good number of artistes for whom the award was set up in the first place simply did not come. And what’s an award without the members of the industry it’s supposed to be awarding? Drama every day.

There’s more below:

The annoying pauses they have randomly in this show like they don't know the next thing on the schedule is just disturbing. ?#headies2016 pic.twitter.com/blpJ6fOVFC

Before you tweet about the #Headies

Ask yourself, am I capable of putting together an award show and deliver much better than tonight's?

If you can't organise an awards show then don't. Do not put out trash and get mad when people call it trash.

All those that don't even qualify for "upcoming" are forming proud. That's why most don't grow bigger than they are right now

Boycott. What boycott?

The truth is it's only you people saying there's a deliberate boycott…they could be doing other things

— Y.O. (@yojora) December 22, 2016

It is easy to recognize a boycott when you see one. They need not come out with a poster. https://t.co/NhyCPAU1Hb
