When I was much younger in the early 1990s, my first idea of royal rumble was the wrestlers coming to the ring to fight. That was when I came in contact with those two words until recently that it came to mind when I heard about the tussle between two musical teams.
The activity or condition of striving to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others is known as competition. This is associated with rivalry, contention, fight, war, jealousy and in another case it strengthens morale. In the process of competing, one also aims at success and fame if opportunity shines on the competitor.
Taking a keen look at the scenario that launched the rift between two artistes, on social media, it is glaring that team Mavin and team YBNL were into competition despite the fact that they have had some relationship in the music industry. The two parties cannot shy away from it, because the headies award made the whole picture well seen as YBNL showed its annoyance over the winner of the next rated artiste category award that was fortunately presented to a member of the Mavin's crew, Reekado Banks.
The headies was established in 2006 with the title; hip hop world awards, presented by hip hop world magazine and HipTv stands as the network in the broadcast world. Headies main aim is to recognize the outstanding performances of Nigerian artistes and so many of the artistes have merited some award categories. To mention a few, Phyno, Tuface, Don jazzy, Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, Olamide and a host of other artistes have gone home with one or some awards. It however shows that every nominee expects the award no matter the timber and calibre you belong to because it places more value and fame on such artiste.
In picking the winner amongst the nominees in each category, certain things are involved including votes of fans. However, competition shouldn't be a do or die affair, and it shouldn't show the weak version of us as public figures. The two parties showed their anger, and it both turned the other way for them and their fans. Their integrity was at stake and the fans of the two groups flooded the social media with different takes, gossips, comments and suggestions.
We are all in one competition or the other, either little or big contest and our attitude at the competitive stage shows how strong our emotions and personality are as public figures or heads in any position we find ourselves. Whenever one is placed in certain position, integrity, name, position, fans, associates are at stake because they made you, and ruling against them in an inappropriate manner will decrease the love towards such figure.
The fuel that filled the tank of apology of the YBNL group must have been well refined without the mixture of other liquid. The fuel knows that whatever is worth protecting is worth it in winning other competitive roles and positions. No matter how cheated we feel after every competition (nomination), we should endeavour to channel our complain in the right manner and to the appropriate quarters. Here is an informal apology words coined from Olamide Adedeji's instagram page....
