Olamide, Don Jazzy in ‘dirty war of words’ over Headies 2015

Year 2016 has kicked off on a very high tone for the Nigerian entertainment industry, as YBNL boss, Olamide and Mavin’s Don Jazzy engaged each other in what Twitter referred to as a rather dirty war of words.

YBNL act Lil Kesh had been nominated alongside Mavin’s Reekado Banks for the next rated act of the year, but the award was presented to the later.

Olamide’s team apparently found the decision of the organisers wrong and they had the opportunity to show it when another YBNL act, Adekunle Gold, won best alternative music with his song Sade.

Olamide said the award for the next rated category belonged to Lil Kesh, blasting the organisers for the outcome.

He drop the microphone, threw his drink and cap on stage as his crew walked out.

Don Jazzy was immediately called up to receive special recognition award for his role in the industry.

Amongst many other things, emotional Don Jazzy said “Oga Olamide, if you want the car (that comes with the next rated category) come and take it”.

He also stormed out of the building with his team, as Olamide was further called up for the artiste of the year award, which he failed to show up for.

After all the drama at the headies, Olamide took to Twitter to blow his mind out on the entire issue.
