Not only is Soundcity Music Video Awards back after a few years of hiatus, the award ceremony which is organised by music channel, Soundcity, recognized singer, Tekno’s hardwork by honouring him with three awards. This is coming just a week after the same Tekno lashed out at the organisers of HipTV for nominating him in the Next rated award category, having been in the  music industry for far too long to be put in the same category with rookie singers. His nomination was subsequently withdrawn.
The award ceremony  which held at the Expo Center, Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos, on December 29, 2016 threw up some unexpected wins
