#BREAKING: Tekno has been disqualified from the Headies 'Next Rated' Category

Tekno's nomination for the Next Rated Category in the Headies Award has been withdrawn. Sources say the jury took the decision to withdraw his nomination because he failed to participate in all of the required activities by organisers leading up to the event.

Official e-mails between the organisers and the singer’s reps confirm all nominees for the category were required to take part in promotional activities including photoshoots, interviews and more.

An insider says all other nominees were available for all the activities.

‘We reached out to them repeatedly, using personal contacts and official channels. They promised he’ll come but he did not. They were clearly aware of the consequences,’ a Headies insider told us today.
