It is no more news i guess that two of Nigeria’s big fish in the music industry; Olamide and Don Jazzy are not in good terms at the moment following the issue they had at the just concluded headies awards.
Even after it seems like the matter has died down in both leaders, yet its still buzzling because fans and some of the celebrities are not chilling on the issue at all. Some supporting Don jazzy, some supporting Olamide but anyway, the deed has been done and the award has been given.
Among the celebrities that supported Olamide is Cool DJ Jimmy Jatt. He made it known in an open letter that Olamide’s Protege,Lil kesh worth the award because he has more swags, stage performance, etc.
‘’Now Of all the categories, this is the only one worth arguing over.Even though this is not a voting category, I stand by million of Nigerians to say that Lil Kesh or Kiss daniel deserve the award. What are the reasons? Lil Kesh has more hit tracks, Swag, Stage performance, Composure and in the long run Lil Kesh may last longer for years to come. Infact,. That is not to say Reekado is not hardworking or he does not have the talent but lil kesh has that special something. Infact Reekado still does not have any Hit track to date. Yes !!!!! I say that with all sense of authority. Songs like Corner, Sugar baby, Catapult are NOT hit tracks, they are just popular and they could have gone National but they are NOT hit tracks. Dont confuse a popular song with a Hit track. Let me explain, As a DJ if I dont play “Gbese” “Efejoku” “Shoki” “Reggae Blues” “Woju” “Laye” “Godwin” at any party, i will have loads of people coming to request for them but people dont disturb me if i do not play Reekado banks songs. Do you get the point? In fact another proof Reekado still does not own a hit track is that an average Nigerian parent who do not follow music still know songs like “Woju” “Bobo”, “Ojuelegba” and “Efejoku”. While i was writing this, i played reekado’s songs to the older generation and they claimed never to have heard them’’
Also, Phyno somehow also showed support to Olamide with his tweet.
It was however gathered that Olamide has apologised to his fans over his misconduct but not to Don Jazzy.
“I want to apologise to my fans for my conduct, including swearing on Live TV, at the Headies event hours ago. I recognise that you are the most important part of my work and my journey so far without you. Therefore, you deserve better from me, I promise to conduct myself in a more respectable manner in future,”
Furthermore, Rapper Ice prince, Dammy Krane, Wande Coal, DJ Spinall endorsed Lil Kesh as the one who deserves the award.
With the way things are, it seems Olamide has got more supporters than Don jazzy.
