Keeny Ice deserves Artiste of the year – Venunye

On March 14, 2018 on #PostVMABlues on Global FM with Bright Ellis, Venunye stated he wished fellow artiste Keeny Ice was crowned ‘Artiste of The Year' at the just ended Volta Music Awards.
“It's strange for an ‘Artiste of The Year' winner not to pick any other category. If I should crown the ‘Artiste of The Year', I'll give it to Keeny Ice since the public voted him to win three categories and he's in the ‘Artiste of The Year' category too, it's just right he picks that nod”, he expressed.

 
Speaking on his big lost on the night of VMAs, Venunye believes the VMAs board left all categories to public votes, “Per the winners, you'll realized it's base on 100% public votes. Are the organizers awarding talents based on work input or when you have enough money to buy votes?. They should put into consideration who can best represent the region”, he fumed.
Meanwhile, prior to the awards night, the ‘Closed Chapter' composer said ‘Best Songwriter of The Year' and ‘Best Vocalist of The Year' categories should be decided by the scheme's board but not subjected to public vote, “It should be determined by the board and not public votes because It's an industry award. When we leave it to public vote, the wrong person may take the award because of his or her mass following”.
Venunye advised colleagues to prepare to put in more work, “Anyone who picks up an award, have to work up to the title merited. Winners have bigger responsibilities now, they should be prepared to rep the region anywhere”.
