The beauty of anger and outburst is that it has a way of purging an individual of hidden secrets and bitterness he has been nursing over time. Olamide’s rants on Twitter about Mavin records producer, Don Jazzy speaks volume of a lot about the Bariga, Lagos born indigenous artiste.
Below are some top revelations deduced from the entire scenario:
Olamide and Don Jazzy could have recorded one hit song titled
‘Skelemba’ together but the relationship between the duo was a mere
working relationship which is indicated in the despicable things Olamide
said about Don Jazzy freely via the social media like he rehearsed for
it.
- (2) Olamide is of a highly questionable character:
Music they say comes from the soul and there is the high
possibility of an artiste singing from the way he sees the society.
Olamide has been known to be vulgar in his songs. He preaches violence,
talks about indiscriminate sex, alcohol and weed. He portrayed the vivid
picture on the Headies Award stage by using swear words in Yoruba
language. He also allegedly destroyed the Headies green room and beat up
a fan that hailed him at the event. This is not the image he wants his
son, Miliano to take after.
- (3) Don Jazzy may not be as good as we think he is in music productions:
Olamide alleged on Twitter that Don Jazzy has recruited some
‘maids’ who help him in cooking beats while he puts his name on it and
claims the credit. It’s a pity he didn’t go further on this interesting
revelation. There is no smoke without fire and there is an element of
truth in every rumour. Olamide must have exploited a crack in the Mavins
dynasty to obtain that rare information. Don Jazzy will expectedly tidy
up loose ends in order not to tarnish his brilliant resume.
- (4) Don Jazzy’s humility on the social media might be a publicity stunt:
Olamide accused Don Jazzy of giving unprecedented support to one
comical fellow or presumably an artiste named Vic O who has recorded
some of the worst songs in the history of Nigerian entertainment like
his Adele’s Hello cover. According to the YBNL boss, Don Jazzy was only
following Twitter trends to maintain recognition on the social media.
- (5) Olamide’s reference to Don Jazzy’s alleged ill-treatment of former colleague, Dbanj shows the ‘pounded yam’ of 10 years may still be steaming:
Olamide accused Don Jazzy of ‘killing Dbanj with packaging’ which
sounds connotative. He also claimed Dbanj who is older than the producer
named him ‘the Don’ out of respect while they worked together. This
according to Olamide is some sort of respect Don Jazzy doesn’t deserve.
- (6) Olamide lobbied to feature Mavin female artiste, Di’ja on a song but Don Jazzy sabotaged the collaboration:
This is another sign of a strained relationship between Don Jazzy
and Olamide as the request to feature Di’ja could have been thwarted by
her boss due to his apathy for Olamide’s songs and probably that of his
crew members.
- (7) Olamide seems to be in control of some Lagos miscreants:
Olamide who claims to represent the street has vowed to attack Don
Jazzy if he visits the Mainland part of Lagos where he is based and
dominates with his people as against Don Jazzy who stays on the Island.
This reminds me of the bitter rivalries in Nigerian politics.
- (8) Wande Coals seems impressed with Olamide for attacking his former boss, Don Jazzy:
Former Don Jazzy’s Mo’hits singer, Wande Coal went on Twitter and
laughed at the whole trending drama by typing ‘LOL’ after which he
followed Olamide on Twitter. On a day like that, out of vigilance, it’s
safe to say he supported Olamide against Don Jazzy due to some
reservations.
- (9) The weakness or conspiracy of the Headies Awards Committee has been exposed:
Many social media users felt the award should have gone to Kiss
Daniel with his monster hit titled ‘Woju’ and ‘Laye’ which were like the
MTV anthem. Lil Kesh is more popular than Reekado Banks. So what
happened? Maybe the streets which the YBNL crew represents don’t use the
internet or vote. They only support by listening.
- (10) Don Jazzy’s maturity and composure after Olamide’s painful verbal assaults against him on Twitter shows how deep he regards his image in the Nigerian society.
This has a close similarity to that of the altercation between the
former Minister of Niger Delta affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe and the
former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission,
Professor Attahiru Jega during the announcement of the presidential
elections results.
The way Di’ja showed excitement at the way Don Jazzy called out
Olamide on the stage speaks volume of the childishness in her which she
needs to get over in order to lead her fans productively.
Additionally, it also depicts a clash of interests and priorities
between Olamide and Don Jazzy. Don Jazzy felt it was all about the
Hyundai car award while Olamide was infuriated as he was fighting for
the alleged robbed honour of Lil Kesh, his artiste.
