As we ushered in the New Year, 2016, a very big drama unfolded at the Headies Awards which held on the 1st of January to the early hours of next day. Two of Nigerian music heavyweights, Olamide and Don Jazzy threw shades at each other after the much converted price “Next Rated Award” was given to Reekado Banks of Mavin Records. This didn’t go down well with Olamide who took to the stage to blast the organizers of the awards and also the entire Mavin crew. In return Don Jazzy also mounted the stage and ridiculed Olamide by rhetorically asking him if it’s the car he wants, he can come and have it.
The beef between the two music bigwigs came to an end with the influence of top personalities that mediated and pacified them. One of them is Nigeria’s and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote.
