Legendary dj jimmy jatt writes an open letter to the headies he had this to say
“When i wrote my first open
letter to Headies on December
29, 2013, the majority opinions i
got was that i was correct while
others felt i was just an
“Attention seeker”.
Headies as an award should be
credibile and not just over
hyped. We have hundreds of
award shows every year in
Nigeria and they are not as
controversial as this one.
Headies as an award are still not
appreciating certain artiste,
producers, entertainers and Dj’s
who work 24/7 to make sure
they bring out the best. ”
They give us the impression that
once you are not nominated or
you do not win, you have not
started your career;This is a BIG
LIE.
Over the years, All Ayo
Animashaun and HipTv family
have proven that it is Money
over Integrity and that is why he
always ignores the choices of
majority of Nigerians or could it
be that they innocently dont
even know what they are doing?
I am not here to analyse the
faults of headies in full but you
can read the other complains on
twitter with the hashtag
#TheHeadies2015.
Firstly, I noticed your hall was
half empty. Your live broadcast
that you always brag about had
the picture quality of NTA
channel 10 and your technical
crew were going offline every
time things became awkward and
they immediately have to switch
to “lyrics on the go” to cover up
your shame.
I watched BET African awards
live and Mtv and i can see a very
huge difference in all aspects.
You still have a lot to learn.
Another disturbing fact is that
headies as an award is creating
bad blood among colleagues in
the Nigerian music scene.
Headies is the reason why we
have not seen collaborations
among certain musicians.
Tell me why Phyno,Davido, Falz,
Solidstar and many other music
producers and artiste who have
been topping charts this year
where not recognized? Next
Rated 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,
i will rather invest N10m on Lil
kesh career than Reekado’s. That
is not to say Reekado is not
hardworking or he does not have
the talent but lil kesh has that
special something.
In fact 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. YBNL
VS MAVIN This was actually the
most interesting part of the
show for those who stayed
awake to attend or watch the
show.
Now the beef is official and it is
part of the bad blood that
headies have caused. Olamide
was not referring to anybody in
particular during Adekunle
Gold’s acceptance speech but
Don Jazzy had to mention
Olamide’s name and the beef
became real on twitter with
Olamide referring to the Don as
a “Bastard”.
Don jazzy should NOT have
mentioned Olamide’s name in
the first place and saying “he
should come and collect the car
if he wants”. Now people are
taking sides and everyone saw
when Olamide threw the
microphone away and his
beloved “red cup’ he poses with
in almost all his music videos. In
my own view, It shows how
unruly and empty he is
intellectually.
Olamide wants to be a Kanye
west so bad and he feels he can
do anything and go scott free.
This was the same guy who
cursed Linda Ikeji for reporting a
story about his “love child” and
claimed it was a rumour till we
confirmed it was actually true.
Baba Miliano (Olamide) your
alter ego Kanye west started
becoming responsible when he
gave birth, when will you stop
sounding like a thug in your
songs and be a role model for
those who are watching you? You
refer to yourself as a Rapper but
i say it to your face that you are
now a bloody singer so shut up.
I wonder why you where not
nominated in the R&B category
since you are now a professional
singer.
Back to the Mavins, If we look at
this from another angle, Reekado
needs the car more than Lil kesh
since Olamide already bought
Kesh a black Range Rover sport
around March, 2015. Instead of
Jazzy to buy his “children’ (as he
refers to his label mates) a car,
he will be giving out free
recharge card on twitter to buy
peoples heart. At least Reekado,
Korede and Di’ja will stop going
around lagos with Cabs.
It should be noted that Davido is
also a major cause of this, he
tweeted it some months back
that Lil Kesh should pull a
“Kanye” on Headies if he does
not win. Kesh was probably too
timid so his oga OluwaKanye
Olamide did the dirty job and
refered to that as “Fighting for
the poor boy”
In conclusion All Nigerian artiste
and producers, do not place
your hope on the Headies which
should now be referred to as
“The Leggings”. Do not say
because you where not
recognized it means you are not
trying, keep doing what you are
doing and let the headies keep
on doing what they are known
for – NONSENSE.. !!!
Do not forget to send your
insults and blessing to the writer
@Baddestdjtimmy and tell me
exactly how you feel.
I also need someone to clear
this please, Don Jazzy said ” The
organizers told him to call
Reekado to come…So he left
Alibaba’s show” Does that mean
he knew Reeky was going to win
that category? Cynthia Morgan
was absent and i am sure the
organisers did not tell Jude
Okoye to tell Cynthia Morgann to
rush down there.
You be the judge !
