Singer, Keshinro Ololade, aka Lil Kesh, has finally reacted to the controversies surrounding his song, Logo Benz, featuring Olamide.Kesh said they were inspired to do the song by the happenings in society. He said, “Logo Benz
was inspired by things we saw on social media and in our environment.
One of the trending news now is how people are stealing pants for money
rituals. One of those things they buy with the money is Benz cars. We
thought we should do a song about it and create awareness; this is what
we have been doing as musicians. But I guess people got the wrong
impression. When it came out, it was heavily criticised and people felt
we were promoting money rituals. I understood why it happened because
some parts of the lyrics were not too clear. If we had looked for a
better way to put the story out there, people would have understood it
better.”
But the singer said he didn’t regret
releasing the song and he would still release something similar if he
was given a second chance. He added, “We have been able to create so
much awareness on the issue and I am sure we have been able to save
lives. Even if it was just one person we saved by releasing the song, I
am happy. I don’t live with regrets. If I could go back in time, I would
still release the song. But this time, we would do it in a way that it
would not be misunderstood.”
Kesh also said he knew the song would
generate controversies from the outset. “I didn’t know the controversies
would be this much. I intend to address the issue, but I wanted the
tension to drop. If I had come online immediately to address it, people
might still not pay attention to me,” he said.
