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 grewt 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 the song 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.”
