Keshinro Ololade better known as Lil Kesh has revealed that he has no regrets about his controversial song, Logo Benz.
The
singer added that the inspiration for that song came from what he had
been seeing on social media and the song was meant to create awareness
to these things.
Even though lyrics of the
song said “If money no enter i go do blood money o.“, Kesh insists he
has no regrets about any part of the song and is standing by his words.
In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Lil Kesh 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 criticized 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.”
“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.”
