“The Hennessy Artistry 2012 Finale is our own way of rounding off a successful Artistry year. We are grateful to everyone who supported us during the project. The bars have been raised with this year’s project and we can only expect better next year”. Brand manager, Hennessy Cognac, Lere Awokoya said during the show.
The high point of the night came with the performance of UK-based acts
DRB and Ajebutter with their popular tracks “Serenre” And “Omo Pastor”. They
got the entire venue vibrating, as everyone danced and sang along. And as if
that was not enough, Naeto and M.I returned to take it notches higher, with a
well-choreographed finale performance featuring surprise acts Banky W and
eLDee. Wild with joy, most guests stood from start to finish, clicking Hennessy
glasses and dancing with the stars.
The Hennessy Artistry 2012 finale brought the sixth edition of Hennessy
Artistry to a final close after a number of amazing parties, the release of a
once in a lifetime collaboration between two industry heavyweights, M.I and
Naeto C.
“This year’s Hennessy Artistry will definitely go down in history as one
of the most successful projects in Nigeria. I am extremely happy to be a part
of this epic project. Thanks to Hennessy for making this happen” M.I says.

and I am happy we were able to achieve that. It’s a great honour to be part of

inception”.
