Popular Nigerian singers, Olamide and Lil Kesh, are currently receiving a major backlash for their new song perceived to promote ritual killings and illegal means to make money.
‘Logo Benz’ is the title of the song currently trending on social media for all the wrong reasons.
Nigerians expressed their displeasure on their different social media accounts shortly after the release of the song.
Olamide however said in a tweet that the song was meant to raise awareness saying all that was said in the song had been seen in movies hence musicians should not be ‘boxed’ for joining the awareness campaign.

Logo Benz.
No melody. No depth. No message.
Just a shameless PROMOTION of ritual killings & desperation for money at all costs, including HUMAN BLOOD.
This is filth.
Olamide & Lil Kesh didn’t just go beyond the line, they landed in the dustbin of history’s trashiest artists.

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 2 much awareness, but pardon me if there is. It’s all over the news, it’s always been in movies, don’t box musicians.

“Pata ni logo Benz” how do you expect the misinformed population to see a good looking young man who worked hard to acquire a mercedes-Benz legally?
Have you thought of the implication for these honest people? https://t.co/3Vi9OULFF3

“Pata ni logo Benz”
See ehn the day I listened to this trash is d same day I was listening to “voice of the streets”. I shed a nigga tear in my heart. A tear for a fallen icon, I couldn’t finish the song tbh. From Glorying Fraud to glorifying blood money, insane.
