Read 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. "
They give us the impression that once you are not
nominated or you do not win, you have not started
your career;This is a BIG LIE. Over the years, All
Ayo Animashaun and HipTv family have proven
that it is Money over Integrity and that is why he
always ignores the choices of majority of Nigerians
or could it be that they innocently dont even know
what they are doing? I am not here to analyse the
faults of headies in full but you can read the other
complains on twitter with the hashtag
#TheHeadies2015.
Firstly, I noticed your hall was half empty. Your
live broadcast that you always brag about had the
picture quality of NTA channel 10 and your
technical crew were going offline every time things
became awkward and they immediately have to
switch to “lyrics on the go” to cover up your
shame.
I watched BET African awards live and Mtv and i
can see a very huge difference in all aspects. You
still have a lot to learn. Another disturbing fact is
that headies as an award is creating bad blood
among colleagues in the Nigerian music scene.
Headies is the reason why we have not seen
collaborations among certain musicians.
Tell me why Phyno,Davido, Falz, Solidstar and
many other music producers and artiste who have
been topping charts this year where not
recognized? Next Rated Now Of all the categories,
this is the only one worth arguing over.
Even though this is not a voting category, I stand
by million of Nigerians to say that Lil Kesh or Kiss
daniel deserve the award. What are the reasons?
Lil Kesh has more hit tracks, Swag, Stage
performance, Composure and in the long run Lil
Kesh may last longer for years to come. Infact, i
will rather invest N10m on Lil kesh career than
Reekado’s. That is not to say Reekado is not
hardworking or he does not have the talent but lil
kesh has that special something.
In fact Reekado still does not have any Hit track to
date. Yes !!!!! I say that with all sense of authority.
Songs like Corner, Sugar baby, Catapult are NOT
hit tracks, they are just popular and they could
have gone National but they are NOT hit tracks.
Dont confuse a popular song with a Hit track. Let
me explain, As a DJ if i dont play “Gbese”
“Efejoku” “Shoki” “Reggae Blues” “Woju” “Laye”
“Godwin” at any party, i will have loads of people
coming to request for them but people dont
disturb me if i do not play Reekado banks songs.
Do you get the point?
In fact another proof Reekado still does not own a
hit track is that an average Nigerian parent who do
not follow music still know songs like “Woju”
“Bobo”, “Ojuelegba” and “Efejoku”. While i was
writing this, i played reekado’s songs to the older
generation and they claimed never to have heard
them. YBNL VS MAVIN This was actually the most
interesting part of the show for those who stayed
awake to attend or watch the show.
Now the beef is official and it is part of the bad
blood that headies have caused. Olamide was not
referring to anybody in particular during Adekunle
Gold’s acceptance speech but Don Jazzy had to
mention Olamide’s name and the beef became real
on twitter with Olamide referring to the Don as a
“Bastard”.
Don jazzy should NOT have mentioned Olamide’s
name in the first place and saying “he should come
and collect the car if he wants”. Now people are
taking sides and everyone saw when Olamide
threw the microphone away and his beloved “red
cup’ he poses with in almost all his music videos.
In my own view, It shows how unruly and empty
he is intellectually.
Olamide wants to be a Kanye west so bad and he
feels he can do anything and go scott free. This
was the same guy who cursed Linda Ikeji for
reporting a story about his “love child” and
claimed it was a rumour till we confirmed it was
actually true.
Baba Miliano (Olamide) your alter ego Kanye west
started becoming responsible when he gave birth,
when will you stop sounding like a thug in your
songs and be a role model for those who are
watching you? You refer to yourself as a Rapper
but i say it to your face that you are now a bloody
singer so shut up. I wonder why you where not
nominated in the R&B category since you are now
a professional singer.
Back to the Mavins, If we look at this from another
angle, Reekado needs the car more than Lil kesh
since Olamide already bought Kesh a black Range
Rover sport around March, 2015. Instead of Jazzy
to buy his “children’ (as he refers to his label
mates) a car, he will be giving out free recharge
card on twitter to buy peoples heart. At least
Reekado, Korede and Di’ja will stop going around
lagos with Cabs.
It should be noted that Davido is also a major
cause of this, he tweeted it some months back that
Lil Kesh should pull a “Kanye” on Headies if he
does not win. Kesh was probably too timid so his
oga OluwaKanye Olamide did the dirty job and
refered to that as “Fighting for the poor boy”
In conclusion All Nigerian artiste and producers, do
not place your hope on the Headies which should
now be referred to as “The Leggings”. Do not say
because you where not recognized it means you
are not trying, keep doing what you are doing and
let the headies keep on doing what they are known
for – NONSENSE.. !!!
Do not forget to send your insults and blessing to
the writer @Baddestdjtimmy and tell me exactly
how you feel. I also need someone to clear this
please, Don Jazzy said ” The organizers told him
to call Reekado to come…So he left Alibaba’s
show” Does that mean he knew Reeky was going
to win that category? Cynthia Morgan was absent
and i am sure the organisers did not tell Jude
Okoye to tell Cynthia Morgann to rush down there.
You be the judge !
