Baddest DJ Timmy writes open letter to Headies Award organizers

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 !
