    How early fame deprived me of life experiences – Lil Kesh

    Nigerian rapper and singer, Lil Kesh, has opened up about the emotional and psychological toll that early fame had on him, comparing his experience to that of global pop sensation Justin Bieber.

    Speaking in a recent interview on the Esther Show, the former YBNL star highlighted the challenges of rising to stardom at a young age.

    According to him, he said, although fame brought success and recognition, it also came at the cost of a normal youth.

    “I blew at a very tender age. I was 19 when I got signed. I just turned 20 when I had ‘Shoki’. So, battling the limelight,” he said.

    “I feel like that is not really talked about too much. But shout out to people like Justin Bieber that was vulnerable and was able to tell his story.

    “My own too is similar to that. It is just coming to limelight at an early age. I was also deprived of a lot of things. A lot of life experiences I could have learnt before I was put into the position.

    Alleged copyright infringement: I will use Lil Kesh as a scapegoat- Eleyele

    Sonorous singer, Busola Oke a.k.a Eleyele has stated that she is ready to issue a lawsuit against Nigerian rapper, Lil Kesh over copyrights infringement.

    The singer alleged that Ololade infringed on her copyright with the release of his song, Undertaker. Eleyele stated that parts of her eponymous hit single were used in Lil Kesh’s song which was released on February 29.

    The beautiful singer has declared that she would make a scapegoat of the singer.

    “His manager called me and told me they wanted to use my song and I told them I didn’t understand. I told them that they should discuss whatever they wanted with my lawyer. Later, my lawyer told me that they had called him and that he told them not to use the song. A week later, Lil Kesh’s song was released. I think they had already used the song before they called us. We have been trying to reach him since then. My lawyer wrote to them stating that we were ready to go to court, but we couldn’t find his office address; so, we had to post the letter on social media. Maybe he thinks I’m an illiterate that cannot do anything, she told Punch.

    Leaving the ghetto, making my parents proud greatest achievement- Lil Kesh

    Nigerian singer and rapper, Ololade ‘Lil Kesh’ Keshinro, says his greatest achievement so far in his music career is making his parents proud and leaving the ghetto.

    Lil Kesh who was recently bashed over his controversial song ‘Logo Benz’ told Taylor Live Magazine that he didn’t know that he would become a professional singer.

    When queried about his greatest achievement in music, he said: “The fact that I made my parents proud, regardless of how difficult it was to make it out of the ghetto is my greatest achievement.”

    On how he kicked off his music career, he said he started out as a chorister in church.

    “Did I know I’ll become a professional singer? No. But I started music at a very young age as a chorister in church, playing the drums and talking drums.

    “My surrounding played a major role in my sense of creativity which is why I often talk about my everyday struggle and hardship I faced before my life turned around.”

     

    Lil Kesh recently took out time to explain the true meaning of his ‘Logo Benz’ tune which many believe promotes money rituals

    “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 criticised 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”, he told Punch..

    When asked If he has regrets releasing the song, the singer said he does not have regrets releasing the song, adding that he would still release something similar if he was given a second chance.

    “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.”
