On so many occasions, artists have asserted that profanity in showbiz sells and so it does not really make news when it is reaffirmed.
However, Nigerian based musician in an interview explained using vulgar words in his songs keeps him smiling to the bank all the time.
“I have realised that everything is evolving. People are tired of all these songs we do nowadays. I need to switch it off; take it back to the old school, because that old music brought us here. Now, it’s a lot of recycling. People don’t even sing any more, they just talk shit and I know that I talk shit too, but it should be meaningful at times.
You see all those old musicians, you see Baba Fryo, Daddy Showkey, they sang meaningful songs with lovely messages. Listen to Daddy Showkey, those were meaningful songs. But for now, you say you like ‘Bow Down,’ I gave you that for you to know that I still know what I’m doing but ‘na money comes first, na this thing dey feed me. People love those bad songs, they might just be pretending.”
Well, no wonder our airwaves are saturated with all these songs.
