“Olosho“, a popular street slang that describes escorts/ prostitutes is one common word used among Naija street-hop sensations.
Going by the wide use of this word, Mp3bullet.ng takes a dive into numerous times Nigerian artistes give ‘Olosho’ accolades in their songs.
Reminisce ft. Olamide, Naira Marley, Sarz – Instagram
The Alaga Ibile employed Olamide, Marley, and Sarz’s assists in making this tune a hit.
While the main theme of the song aims at encouraging people with a touch of vibing, Reminisce goes into the street archives with his Olosho punchline, Thou shall not pay for Olosho.

Naira Marley – Pxta
The Marlian President is quite known for his erotic lifestyle and so, having such vibes in his song should be expected.
Clearly, he talks about his flamboyant ways with his girls who are willing to “kill him” with their assets.
Olosho see ma lo yun funmi? Comes when the singer decided to play with words and not the main theme of the song.
Mayorkun – Drama Queen
Haven had enough of the good-boy lyrics, The Mayor of Lagos took to a new vibe in exploring the ‘dirty’ words in a solo style.
Talking about his drama queen, Mayorkun reveals she is an “olosho!”
Umu Obiligbo ft. Flavour, Phyno – Culture
When you classify the Umu Obiligbo group for the ‘good guys’ style, then you should play this single to hear them display their ‘bad boy’ side.

Reminisce -Aladigbo (Nigerian artistes olosho songs)
This is another groove the Alaga displayed his ghetto abilities. While trying his shot on a groovy high-life beat, he talks about the different breeds of ‘Oloshos’ roaming the streets of Lagos and also affirms his undying love for them.
Pepenazi ft. Olamide – Illegal
Just like yesterday, we witnessed one of the hottest 2015 collaborations in the industry. Again, Olamide is on this track, and he is the one chanting the Olosho anthem.
The song is a call to party tune with all the necessary ingredients like the Oloshos, money, eruku etc.
Qdot – Alomo Meta (Nigerian artistes olosho songs)
Going in a spiritual ‘meta’ ‘meta’, Qdot dropped this song in 2013. As a matter of fact, this was the song that catapulted him into the larger music scene.
While the theme speaks of making it in life, he addresses his yellow Oloshos to come in for a spin.

DJ Instinct ft. OlaDips, Chinko Ekun & Zlatan – Olosho
For those who know Instinct as Reminisce’s official disk jockey, he is more than that. He is a street-oriented producer who knows his worth.
Mr. K9 – Olosho (Nigerian artistes olosho songs)
This is another song that simply glorifies a mega lifestyle, with loads of Oloshos for enjoyment.
If you remember Mr. K9 for the Kokoma groove, then trust what this singer did here.
Naira Marley ft. Olamide, Lil Kesh – Issa Goal
Lastly, there is Naira Marley’s mega jam, Issa Goal featuring Olamide and Lil Kesh.
Although, many would agree that the song is about the 2018 World Cup and giving accolades to the people involved, however, to leave out some lyrical parts would not make it fun.
The first verse clearly hears Olamide giving top personalities accolades, and not forgetting his people, he quickly gave them theirs.
