Headies 2015: Olamide, Don Jazzy go at each other

What could be considered as one of the most high profile beefs in the music industry played out last night at the Headies when Olamide came on stage to spill his guts when his protégé Lil Kesh didn’t emerge winner of the Next Rated category of the awards.

The keenly contested category which sees the winner going home with a brand new Hyundai car had nominees such as Reekado Banks, Kiss Daniel, Cynthia Morgan, Korede Bello and Lil’ Kesh Olumide.

Mavin act, Reekado Banks emerged the winner in the category but many especially on Twitter thought YBNL’s Lil Kesh deserved the award.

Olamide obviously didn’t like the eventuality and when he had the opportunity to come on stage with his crew, he thundered saying; “This award belongs to Lil Kesh. Lil Kesh is our own Next Rated artist. F**k that s**t! The streets ti take over.

Every f**king single was a hit back to back. From ‘lyrically’ to ‘Shoki’ to ‘Efejoku’. Ko ni dafun Iya anybody”, he then threw the microphone down and they all walked off the stage.

But the war of words didn’t end there, Mavin honcho Don Jazzy made the face-off official when he came on stage to receive his recognition award saying; “Egbon Olamide, If you want the car, come and collect it.”
