Quite strange as it is only in Nigeria that a song is banned after it has become a household song.
Wizkid's 'The matter' which contains lyrics like "... 20 man shall fall that day if you cross my lane... Oya back to the matter open and close..." was considered explicit by NBC.
And Also Phyno's Man of the year which has lyrics like "...oburu na okwero iba tee ya vaseline(if e no gree enter apply vaseline)..." was also considered explicit.
Thus, both songs were banned from Radio air play by NBC.
This was made known by Beatfm OAP Gbemi Olateru Olagbegi, see her tweets below...
Chocolate City Entertainment Audition Form Is Out.
ReplyDeleteAre your talented,looking for a Record label or You want to be sign?,this is an opportunity for you.
One of the greatest frustrations in life is raw talent wasted or bitterly exhausted on what it is not worth, is dreams that crash on the rocks of lack of opportunity or support .This is the crisis faced by so many Artist, due to this, find themselves Singing out their careers the way they started – on the dusty streets in their local towns and villages. They could have made it big but for lack of connections and funding find themselves disappointed, often turning to alternative means just to make their daily bread. Those Singing today in the Entertainment industry, not because they are the best or the most talented, but because they have had the right opportunities and met the right people.
It's happening now.
