Both artistes had collaborated on the song
Skelemba, which is included in Olamide’s November 2014 album Street OT, giving
the impression that the two were more of friends.
The relationship between both label heads turned
sour following a series of events at the 2015 Headies Awards in Lagos after
Marvin Record starlet, Reekado Banks, beat Olamide’s protégé, Lil Kesh, to the
coveted Next Rated Artist prize.
A visibly irritated Olamide expressed his
frustration at the decision when he accompanied another YBNL act, Adekunle
Gold, who won the award for Best Alternative Artiste, to receive the award.
“He (Lil Kesh) is our next rated artiste. He had
back to back hits throughout the year – Lyrically, Shoki, Gbese and Efejoku,”
he said among other things before throwing the mic away and storming off the
stage.
The situation took a turn for the worst when
Marvin Record boss, Don Jazzy, apparently feeling slighted, told Olamide to
come and take the car, which went with the Next Rated award, if he wanted it.
While receiving the special recognition award,
Don Jazzy said, “I came out here to support my children. As they were trying to
present the award, Reekado Banks was performing at Ali Baba’s show. I have
already told my children that I will buy cars for all of them… Egbon Olamide,
if you want the car come and collect it.”
The comments enraged the YBNL boss who took to
Twitter to insult his Marvin Records counterpart, warning him to stay away from
Lagos mainland.
In a series of tweets the YBNL boss accused Don
Jazzy of ruining D Banj’s career and oppressing artistes signed to his record
label.
After leading the Marvin Records crew to perform
at the One Lagos Fiesta which ushered in 2016 for thousands of Lagosians, it
didn’t look like Don Jazzy’s next stop was to catch a beef.
