‘Don Jazzy, Olamide And The Headies Saga’ – Charles Novia Weighs In

Interesting article on the Donjazzy Olamide saga titled :DON JAZZY, OLAMIDE AND THE ‘HYUNDAI SKELEMBA’-TAKING IT TO A BANK as written by Charles Novia

The Headies 2015 ( which ironically held on the first day of 2016) was an anti-climax after that.

And perhaps the public tantrums of both Don Jazzy and Olamide were the highlights of what was before then an above average telecast with glaring lapses which could have been remedied with more precision.

When the artistes nominated in the ‘Next Rated..’ category were shown in a mini-documentary somewhere in the show, taking photo-ops in the Hyundai SUV and pleading for votes from their fans so as to win the prize, I told myself after seeing the earnest expectations on their faces that this category would surely be competitive but would have some bad blood drawn thereafter.

Baddest Dj Timmy Writes Open Letter To #TheHeadies2015 Award Organizers

 

Below is the open letter from Baddest DJ Timmy to the Headies Awards organizers below...

"When i wrote my first open letter to Headies on December 29, 2013, the majority opinions i got was that i was correct while others felt i was just an “Attention seeker”. Headies as an award should be credibile and not just over hyped. We have hundreds of award shows every year in Nigeria and they are not as controversial as this one. Headies as an award are still not appreciating certain artiste, producers, entertainers and Dj’s who work 24/7 to make sure they bring out the best. "
