[b]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:
*.(1) Olamide and Don Jazzy were never really friends:
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 se.x, 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.
