There has been a close relationship between the streets and some songs that glorifies internet fraud aka ‘yahoo’, and to some, it is a source of motivation.
Going down the tough lanes, Mp3bullet.ng piles up some of the Yahoo motivational songs that have taken over the streets.
Bella Shmurda ft. Zlatan, Lincoln – Cash App
Shortly after gaining prominence with his Vision 2020 song, young Bella teamed up with Zlatan and Lincoln for his smash record!
It took the streets by surprise, and of course, it was the language they understood so no need for dulling.
While many people have their interpretations of the vibe, you would agree “Cash App” is an adopted slang mostly used in the streets and “maga” simply puts to clients. Adding one plus one, the message is clear.

Olamide ft. Bad Boy Timz – Loading
The legendary baddo also has his imprint in this game. Arguably one of the biggest songs off his Carpe Diem album which he released in 2020.
Lyrically, the veteran praises yahoo hustlers and urges others to work as hard as yahoo guys do!
“Olu gba yahooze o maintain, Iwo sun o un gor o un complain”
Seyi Vibez – Pay Day
Before rounding off the year 2020, this fast-rising sensation took to the studio and released Pay Day.
More like when the year is coming to its climax and as a yahoo boy, “maga” must pay!

Otega ft. CDQ – Stay Woke
This is another raving fast-rising street sensation who collaborated with rapper, CDQ.
On this one, Otega establishes that he got all he ever wanted through this lane, and everyone should embrace this lifestyle.
Going with the “Ji Masun” slang which street-wise translates to be alert and be involved, Otega surely gave Yahoo boys all they need for motivation.

Saint Hay Why ft. Mohbad – Picker Die
Also, we have a yet to be established talented vibe who goes by the stage name, Saint HayWhy. For the veterans in these yahoo activities, “Pickers” are like a representative of those who collect money on their behalf.
Having explained what that means, it’s easy to get what Saint and Mohbad express in the song.
9ice – Living Things
The veteran Alapomeji himself is not left out of this list. In 2016, this vocalist served us this groove.
Basically, he narrates the story of youths who have no jobs that result in internet frauds for a living.
Eleniyan – Yahoo Lawon Oremi
The buzzing song came through in 2019 as his debut and hit single for the year.
Being a street music act, he praises his friends who are into core internet frauds as he makes a hit out of it.

As stated in the lyrics “E fi awon omo yahoo le”; meaning leave yahoo boys alone, this is simply for your motivation!
Chinko Ekun ft. Lil Kesh, Zlatan – Able God
For the final song on our list, Chinko Ekun employs Lil Kesh and Zlatan in this 2019 smash hit!
While it served as a great comeback for Chinko, it also topped the playlist of yahoo boys because, by all means, God should shower his blessings as they want this money.
