On Sunday, September 3, aspiring music talent, Niieedo, emerged the latest BudxUncovered winner at Pyramid Lounge, as Budweiser continues its search for the next big thing in Nigerian music. He beat out other upcoming acts like Apete, Derry Black, Lixlaw, Lord Dami and Marshall Muze, and becomes the fourth winner overall from the Regional Stages. He will advance to the Grand Finale in Lagos on September 23. Following his announcement, Teni Makanaki shut down the show with an unforgettable performance, and even gifted a fan ₦1million, capping the night in style.
The Uyo event came a week after the Regional Stage in Asaba, Delta was lit up by BNXN FKA Buju, at D’Echo Exclusive. BNXN’s performance thrilled the audience, on a night when aspiring superstar, Dreay Picasso came out on top against five others — Ayomide Ade, Santorini, Spectre, Yoyo Ovi, and Zaya — and noted his win was the ‘perfect birthday gift’. He’ll face off against Niieedo and the winners from Enugu (Smart Asante) & Port Harcourt (Calian) in the Grand Finale.
