Soundcity Recognizes Video Directors On Award Nomination List Following TG Omori’s Complaint
Soundcity award organizers have recognized the contribution and efforts of music video directors in the 2023 Soundcity MTV Awards music video category.
The award organizers made the change after Nigerian music video director, TG Omori called them out for crediting the artiste of the nominated music videos instead of the music directors in the music video category of the 2023 Sound City MVP.
TG Omori described the decision as an insult to the music directors who were overlooked in the only category they were eligible for.
