First of all, happy new
year to everyone on this blog. May this year bring forth great
manifestation of God's work in your lives.
I have
observed with keen interest the controversy that has engulfed the
Headies award and the way some of us have reacted to it and I want to
chip in one or two things.
The way
this award thing works is this, after the producers put out names of
nominees, it's now left for the artists to go do their home work. Some
artists and their team go round to parks, bars, cafes, lounge and even
market places giving out recharge cards to people asking for their votes
(and they spend hundreds of thousands on this).
Mobilising
people to vote for you doesn't start and end by sharing links on
Twitter and instagram pages, it requires extra cost and I guess Reekado
saw himself as the least favourite in that category hence the harder he
had to work to garner votes.
Lil
Kesh might have just been comfortable with the fact that his songs over
time have been popular but failed to realise that popularity alone does
not win awards but votes. I remember back when one of the chocolate city
boys got a nomination and they took their entire team to Jos where they
are from to mobilise people to vote for them, that's the extra work you
have to do after getting a nomination.
Like
the saying, work hard in silence and let your success make the noise. I
guess Reekado took that advice seriously. Those of us saying that Lil
Kesh should have won can you sincerely beat his or her chest to say that
he or she voted Kesh?.
Another
thing is people blaming Don jazzy for saying what he said, my people
talk say 'nobi wen pikin tell elder say you de crase before e be insult
oh'. It's not when Olamide calls Don jazzy's name before him go know say
Olamide de insult him and his crew oh!
If it's
OK for Olamide to stand up for Kesh, why is it not OK for Jazzy to
stand up for Reekado? that's saying the MAVIN artist is not good enough,
hence the genesis of Olamide's curses. How many of us would sit down
quietly and watch somebody say all these 'BABA IYA EYAN' 'KO NI DA FUN
IYA ANYBODY' (it shall not be well with their mama) when you know you
are involved? Haba now!
Don
jazzy is human too and has blood running in his veins. On top small
matter sef, come see as people dey cuss demselves out. When things go
wrong, don't find blame, find solutions. Have a blessed day people.
Thanks everyone for your time.
*I agree with each party defending themselves but Olamide's use of swear words was a NO NO NO for me.
Aside
from that why are we all cussing each other out cos of them?At the end
of the day this is just good publicity for each party and they are the
ones that will smile to the Bank and not you.
They will hug and make up tomorrow and thats it.
This
kind of Beef is part of every entertainment industry and i am almost
pinching myself from saying ''what if they planned it''?..lol
