Nigerians berate Olamide and Lil Kesh for promoting yahoo and rituals in new song
Popular Nigerian singers, Olamide and Lil Kesh, are currently receiving major backlash for their new song which most people believe is promoting ritual killings and illegal means to make money.
While Nigerian songs may have one of the best dance hall beats in the world, one of the problems the Nigerian music industry is faced with is the lack of rich lyrics. From promoting alcohol and other substance abuse to berating women, the list seems endless.
Currently trending on social media is a song titled ‘Logo Benz’ by Olamide and Lil Kesh which has proven to be quite the controversy within few hours of its release. While these singers have a huge fan base, not so many people are happy with the new release as they suggests it promotes ritual killings and blood money.
This is clearly reflected in the first part of the song chorus which says
“If money no enter, I go do blood money.” This has angered a lot of music lovers as they have taken to the social media to condemn the song, criticizing the singer for promoting one of the vices that have since become a fundamental issue in the country.
While some OAPs like Toolz have since promoted the song, Cool FM Head of music, PH, Patterson has come out to condemn the song.
He tweeted: “Please what absolute filth is this “Logo Benz” song?! My moral standards aren’t the highest but my conscience can’t even let me play this on radio.”

Why is the new Lil Kesh and Olamide song promoting/glorifying ritual killings/blood money?? Why must you use terrible lyrics like this??
“If money no enter i go do blood money”There needs to be a line that you can’t cross when it comes to lyrics in music. This is one of them.

~ Reason why likes of Reminisce, Jhybo & Seriki will come first for me before any rapper that claims to be king of street.
Being street doesn’t make you insensitive via lyrics –
“If money no enter, I go do blood money” – Lyrics from new lil kesh & Olamide song.
TRASH!
