Music industry heavyweights Olamide and
Don Jazzy have started the New Year by turning on each other, leaving
many in the music industry shocked.
Both artistes had collaborated on the
song Skelemba, which is included in Olamide’s November 2014 album Street
OT, giving the impression that the two were more of friends.
The relationship between both label
heads turned sour following a series of events at the 2015 Headies
Awards in Lagos after Marvin Record starlet, Reekado Banks, beat
Olamide’s protégé, Lil Kesh, to the coveted Next Rated Artist prize.
A visibly irritated Olamide expressed
his frustration at the decision when he accompanied another YBNL act,
Adekunle Gold, who won the award for Best Alternative Artiste, to
receive the award.
“He (Lil Kesh) is our next rated
artiste. He had back to back hits throughout the year – Lyrically,
Shoki, Gbese and Efejoku,” he said among other things before throwing
the mic away and storming off the stage.
The situation took a turn for the worst
when Marvin Record boss, Don Jazzy, apparently feeling slighted, told
Olamide to come and take the car, which went with the Next Rated award,
if he wanted it.
While receiving the special recognition
award, Don Jazzy said, “I came out here to support my children. As they
were trying to present the award, Reekado Banks was performing at Ali
Baba’s show. I have already told my children that I will buy cars for
all of them… Egbon Olamide, if you want the car come and collect it.”
The comments enraged the YBNL boss who
took to Twitter to insult his Marvin Records counterpart, warning him to
stay away from Lagos mainland.
In a series of tweets the YBNL boss
accused Don Jazzy of ruining D Banj’s career and oppressing artistes
signed to his record label.
After leading the Marvin Records crew to
perform at the One Lagos Fiesta which ushered in 2016 for thousands of
Lagosians, it didn’t look like Don Jazzy’s next stop was to catch a beef
