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.
Here are some of the reactions
If this was a country where “normal” people occupy, by now Olamide and Lil Kesh would have felt the brunt of antagonizing and attacking the fabrics of society through their songs. Within 24 hours of the release of the LEGO Benz song, virtually all the companies endorsing them

Olamide and lil Kesh legit said `we go do blood’ in lego Benz. Crazy how we’ve normalised Internet fraud and demonic acts in this country.

Oga Ade, Lego Benz is the only one that promotes negativity in all the songs you mentioned here.. Science student was against drug.. and mind you,, Olamide has so many songs that motivates positively.. He did wrong with ‘blood money nonsense’ and people are bashing him for It https://t.co/Cy6DThxLuI

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.

Lego Benz is a very distasteful, disgraceful song that shouldn’t have been recorded, the release is just the implications of every yahoo motivated song blowing.
I see no different between you and a fraudsters/ritualist if you can sing something like that.— A God. (@IamDreal_TIG) December 20, 2018
