Very few responses to ones tweets are more chain yanking than “K”.

One could be dropping wisdom so profound, that one begins to envision self as sensei, or grand vizer,

then out of the blues, a very evil person replies with:

And within seconds it is as if a horde from Hades has just heard that it is time “k” you to death, so it pours

Yes, the 10th letter in the English alphabet could get weaponized by normally harmless people in such a way that it aggravates, irritates, infuriates, and enervates. Sometimes it makes one lapse into bombast like in the last sentence. For the thin skinned, I would not be surprised if some have considered blacklisting the letter “K” on twitter.

But that would have made them miss out on the five times “K” was not such a pain in the nether-yay-ya. When it was indeed the first letter in the title of a hit.

  1. Like that one time when Olamide came out with a Fela inspired jam “Konkonbility”. The single from a future album of his has been viewed 438,889 times on Olamide’s Vevo. It features Ushbabe and Helen Paul.

2. Even when Koker made it known that even if they tried to aggravate him, Kolewerk. The video to the song has been seen 266,088 times on his Youtube page. The song has become a staple in the clubs. K

3. Falz the Badguy even tried to scare the trolls by insinuating that he knows a girl with powers that could turn any of them into lizards. He invoked Karashika. He featured Chigurl, who can’t be a witch lailai! He also featured the beast from the East, Phyno. As at the time I viewed this video, it had chalked up 530,250 views.

4. When Reekado Banks and his Frohawk first arrived on the scene, served up by the legendary Don Jazzy, he had decided that the best way to catch our attention is by showing off his hunting skills. So he dropped Katapot. I had it on repeat for some days. It officially has grossed 1,075,348 views. Not bad.

5. Reekado’s label mate was the first to try to bestow royalty on “K”. God knows “K” needed a makeover at that period in human history. Petitions could have been put up asking that the English alphabet be reduced to 25 letters. But Dr. Sid made sure we bowed to the king when he did “Kabiyesi” and all was forgiven. The video featured the professional applicant, Frank Donga.

Video has been viewed 837,363 times.

In hindsight, “K” is not such a bad thing. Whether as a twitter response, or as the leading letter in bangers.
