Yungtee Top 10 Controversies & Beef That Rock The Music Industry In 2016

1 Olamide Vs Don Jazzy Headies Scuffle
As we ushered in the New Year, 2016, a very big drama unfolded at the Headies Awards which held on the 1st of January to the early hours of next day. Two of Nigerian music heavyweights, Olamide and Don Jazzy threw shades at each other after the much converted price “Next Rated Award” was given to Reekado Banks of Mavin Records. This didn’t go down well with Olamide who took to the stage to blast the organizers of the awards and also the entire Mavin crew. In return Don Jazzy also mounted the stage and ridiculed Olamide by rhetorically asking him if it’s the car he wants, he can come and have it.
The beef between the two music bigwigs came to an end with the influence of top personalities that mediated and pacified them. One of them is Nigeria’s and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote.

2 Tiwa Savage & Tee Billz Marriage Scandal
One of the biggest scandals/ controversies of 2016 is the separation between the biggest celebrity couple Tiwa Savage and Teebillz. Earlier this year Teebillz took to instagram to complain about his “thought-to-be perfect” marriage and his wife cheating on him with other celebrities (Dr Sid, Don Jazzy and 2face).
The music promoter was later reported missing by his family and friends before he was found later that same day attempting suicide on the Lekki-ikoyi Bridge, and was rescued by Banky W, one of the P-square brothers and some well-meaning Nigerians.
Tiwa Savage later revealed the reason behind her failed marriage in an interview with Pulse tv. With tears in her eyes she complained about Teebillz being an irresponsible husband and father. In the interview she spoke about her husband and his cocaine addiction, his affair with another woman known as Edible Catering, his reckless spending; popping bottles in the club in her name( without paying), neglecting her when she had a miscarriage in Jamaica amidst others.
Teebillz has since then been out of rehabilitation and back on instagram, there are rumours that the couple are working on their marriage and are currently seeing a counsellor.
