Olamide and Lil Kesh
Olamide Adedeji, the Nigerian musician who is popularly known as
Olamide, has come out to defend his controversial new single with Lil
Kesh, 'Logo Benz'.
The song, which was released on Wednesday, has been greeted with
controversy by Nigerians on social media, with many of his fans
criticising the artistes for promoting criminal means of making money.
While many have called for the song to be banned, because of its
explicit lyrics and references to 'blood money', a few of Olamide's fans
have stuck by him, insisting there are no rules that state that the
song should be taken on surface level.
Olamide also took to Twitter on Friday morning to attempt to explain the idea behind the song.
His post read: "Logo Benz is for the 3rd party to have a
glimpse into the current state of youths in our society. (Runs girls x
runs boys) I’m not sure if there’s anything like too much awareness, but
pardon me if there is. It’s all over the news, it’s always been in
movies. Don’t box musicians."
However, Olamide's defence does not seem to have done much to make a
difference, as many of the respondents insist the lyrics are too
explicit to be taken on a "creating awareness" level.
The cover art for the audio is an altered version of the Benz logo,
with something resembling a G-string forming the 'X' sign on the Benz
logo.
Some lyrics of the song read as follows:
I dey pray to Jesuu (Jesuu) ko wo wole (kowo wole o
If money no enter I go do blood money o…
I dey pray to Allah (Allah)
Kowo wole o… (Kowo wole o)
If money no enter i go do blood money o....
