After apologizing to fans via the social media for their
misconduct at the just concluded Headies 2015, awards that took place in
Lagos, on Friday, January 1, the victims Don Jazzy and Olamide have
come out to also apologize to the organizer, Ayo Animashaun for their
bad conduct on stage.
In an interview with Kemi Filani, Ayo Animashaun disclosed that
although the YBNL boss and music artist, Olamide has to come to
apologize to him but both parties will still have a meeting with the
disciplinary team.
He said: “Olamide is like a son to me. What he did was to the
Headies and not to me but he has apologized to me personally. He knows
the right thing to do because The Headies is a platform that has
celebrated a lot of artistes including him. He and Don Jazzy apologized
to me the next day. As the executive producer of the award, I do not act
unilaterally, I have a board and we have a disciplinary team and very
soon, they will come up with a statement on how to handle the whole
issue. We would make it public.”
Speaking on if the results were influenced, he disclosed that he
would never feel offended if asked whether we collected money from any
artiste because I’m like a father to them and I try not to prefer one
artist over another.
Ayo Animashaun said: “I would feel offended if i’m ever asked
whether we collected money from any artiste. I am like a father to them
and I try not to meddle or prefer any artiste over the other. We did not
influence the results submitted by the screening team and we also did
not reveal the identities of all members of the jury. People have gone
to the extent of threatening lives if their artistes do not win. I have
reported some of them to the police too.”
