By Agboola Ibrahim

Don Jazzy, the Nigerian music entrepreneur, has expressed regret for his infamous fight with Olamide Adedeji at the 2015 Headies Awards. In an episode of BBNaija's Doyin Corner, he admitted that he immediately felt bad after the incident and stepped down from the stage.

Don Jazzy acknowledged that the incident was out of character and that he apologized to Olamide and the Headies Award organizers for his behavior. He expressed disappointment that the incident might have let down individuals who look up to him as a role model.

The 2015 Headies Awards incident is still seen as one of the biggest celebrity beefs in Nigerian music history. Don Jazzy's signee, Reekado Banks, was declared the winner of the Next Rated category, but Olamide disagreed, saying that his YBNL protégé Lil Kesh deserved the award.

Don Jazzy, who was also present, urged everyone to accept the organizers' choice. The situation quickly escalated, and Don Jazzy and Olamide engaged in a heated argument on stage.
