Hard knocks for Olamide, Lil Kesh for promoting cyber crime, blood money in new song

Fans and critics alike have come down hard on the pair of street hop singers Olamide and Lil Kesh over a new song jointly released by the two artist’s.

Nothing but a deluge of hard knocks were reserved for both acts by critics over the song titled ‘Logo Benz’ for promoting ‘yahoo-yahoo’ and ‘blood money’.

Most critics were particularly miffed by a line in the song which goes thus; “If money no enter i go do blood money” line in their new song ‘Logo Benz’.

Listed below are a number of harsh reactions by disgruntled Nigerians who were disappointed at the the watery lyrics laced in the song.

“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.

@Isimaodeh wrote; “This Olamide and Lil Kesh song is painful to listen to. A song that glorifies rituals, internet fraud and blood money. What does “If money no enter, I go do blood money” mean? That song will get across to millions of youth, that’s the worst part. There is no excuse for this.”

“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!

Lil Kesh has however defended the promotion of ‘yahoo-yahoo’ and ‘blood money’ on the new song via his Instagram page saying they are not promoting what is not in existence.

The artiste in a post on Instagram said; “If money no enter I go do blood money o, talk your own. We no dey promote wetin no dey exist na awareness we dey do so spread your pata at owner’s risk because won ka pata o.”
