[NEWS] Logo Benz: Olamide justifies money rituals, says, ‘Don’t box musicians’

Musician Olamide has justified the lyrics of his latest collabo song with Lil Kesh, titled Logo Benz.

In the song, the two artistes threaten to do money rituals if Jesus and Allah hesitate to make them rich. They sing: “I dey pray to Jesu, ‘K’owo wo le o! If money no enter, I go do blood money o!’ I dey pray to Allah, ‘K’owo wo le o! If money no enter, I go do blood money o!’”

Listeners have since criticised the lyrics, saying it encourages money rituals.
