Artists weigh-in on Olamide, Don Jazzy face-off

In from Ahmed Boulor . . .

Reactions have continued to trail the face-off between Olamide and Don Jazzy over the Next Rated category at the Headies award which saw Mavin artiste emerge the winner instead of fans favourite Lil Kesh.

Nigerian artists have dug into the controversy with some taking sides while others have decided to sit on the fence.

Rapper Vic O noted on Twitter that the fight was unnecessary and that the award was ‘ordinary’. He also said he’d like to release a peace track for both Olamide and Don Jazzy.

“But on a more serious note though, this is not necessary at all. Come on! All on top of an ordinary award?! Not cool at all. Unity! Peace!” He posted.

Wande Coal’s short comment which is obviously pregnant with meaning has got him trending on Twitter after it appeared on his timeline.

“Lol. Just passing through.” He tweeted.

Phyno who is friends with Olamide decided to go rhetorical with his comments.

“Reason why I can’t take somethings serious anymore!!! Facts only… Who made more impact, Lil Kesh or Olamide?!

Meanwhile, Olamide has continued to hit at Don Jazzy on Twitter with his latest comments apparently referring to Don Jazzy as a Johnnie Walker ambassador.

“That Johnny Walker P wasn’t moving, they had to beg me to help you post. E be like say craze don dey worry this bros. Johnny Walker no gree walk, we had to push him. Ema lor wao!! Lol, I be full street… God pass money oh! Young John has more hits than you.” Olamide tweeted.
