Lil Kesh has termed the message on his song, “Logo Benz” as “misunderstood”. The deeply controversial song which featured Olamide was released in December 2018.
“Logo Benz” was released at a time when there was a sharp rise in pant theft and rituals.
Lil Kesh explained in a recent interview with Punch that they were only trying to raise awareness about the trend.
“Logo Benz was inspired by things we saw on social media and in our environment,” he said.
However, the artist admitted to Punch News on Sunday, January 20, 2019, that their message was not clear.
“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 criticized 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.”
