These Nigerian songs had us dancing but their lyrics were controversial.

Back in the days when the music industry was booming, lyrics were an important factor as much as their beat and melody.

While there were censorship guiding the entertainment industry, it didn’t stop artists who just wanted to express their thoughts on particular issues.

Some of these songs were a popular staples in parties, clubs and radios but their lyrics had parents cringing whenever it came on near their children.

The list does not contain songs that were contentious due to ownership disputes (stolen music controversy) or diss songs, but rather entirely on the lyrical content or lack thereof.

Kerewa – Zule zoo

Kerewa was a highly divisive song when it first came out. The Song was prohibited from most radio stations due to its obscene lyrics and innuendos.

This is one of those songs where everyone has a personal experience of singing along to the explicit and colourful lyrics and then being punished by an African parent for doing so.

The theme, ironically, wasn’t about sex, but about the now-popular topic of rape. Many of us were too ignorant back in 2005, when it was a hit, to realize this.

The song’s plot revolves around a young child who witnesses their mum cheating on their dad with another man and proceeds to sing about it in graphic detail.

Yahooze- Olu Maintain

“Yahooze” is a song by Nigerian recording artist Olu Maintain. It was produced by Puffy Tee and officially released on October 27, 2007, as the lead single from his debut album of the same name.

“Yahooze” was not only a commercial hit but also popularize the Yahooze dance which involves throwing fingers in the air.

Although many of us were too naïve to grasp the source of the money Olu Maintain sang about in his 2007 hit, Yahooze, we all recognized the song was a hit.

Maga Don Pay- Kelly Hansome

This song was popular for many reasons. The beat and most of all, its melody. However, the lyrics are somewhat controversial.

The name of the song borrows its language from the textbook of 419s or Yahoo Yahoo boys as they are popularly known. It a slang used when a victim has successfully been scammed.

It was a popular hit song when it was released in 2008 but unfortunately also encouraged the celebration of criminals who are defrauding people to make a quick buck.

The song was released a year after the release of Olu Maintain’s Yahooze. These two songs are the bedrock upon which other songs which promote fraud activities are being made.

Ashawo- Flavour

The name of the song alone tells you it is about to be controversial galore. Flavour’s Ashewo song was laced with a lot of sexual undertones and lines. The song was highly controversial as the video didn’t even help matters.

Iya Basira- Styl-Plus

Styl Plus gave fans a lot of hits to remember and “Iya Basira” is one of them. The song at first listen might confuse as just another funny story but beneath the surface lies a very confusing and puzzling story.

On “Iya Basira‘, Tunde, Shiffy and Zeal sing about a food vendor who is the titular character whose food customers can’t seem to get enough of.

The food causes them to spend their money on Iya Basira’s restaurant, and fight with their loved ones and even the Police can’t help them break out of her chokehold.

The song’s theme is Nollywood-like with the suspicion that Iya Basira might actually be using juju to hold her customers.

If I die- Dagrin

How many artists can predict their death and how its likely going to happen? Dagrin, an indigenous rapper, released the song shortly before his death. After his death, the song became immensely controversial, sparking several rumours and legends about his premature death.

The Nigerian music industry is a spontaneous industry. A success template or trend might work for one artiste and when another artiste tries it, it just backfires and here are the Nigerian musicians that went missing just after one hit song

Normally when an upcoming artiste drops a song that eventually goes viral, there’s this wild expectation of another hit song from him that will further establish him as one artiste to look out for in the industry.

However, the artiste fails to drops another similar hit song and then we come with the term “One Hit Wonder”.

Wizkid, Olamide, Ice Prince and Davido were artistes who were able to back up their debut hit singles with follow up music materials that also went viral.

But who are these artistes who became irrelevant after just one song?

Humblesmith

Blew up after the Osinachi track went viral. The single which was with Phyno originally enjoyed massive airplay then in December 2015.

It was the perfect song to close out the year and it was not surprising he was nominated in the Headies Rookie Of The Year 2015 though YCee won.

And when he got a remix to the song that went viral, we thought we had an established act already. East, West, Central was buzzing with Osinachi.

Then, we didn’t hear of Humblesmith for a while. He released an album earlier this year but it wasn’t even highly rated. Too disheartening to see his career fade away so fast.

2. AY.com

Pass Me Your Love was a popular song than in 2009. It was one of the most surprising songs then that got very huge on the streets and in the monsters and with the then in form dancehall act, Terry G on the track, it was a creative masterpiece.

Kids were not left out chanting “Pass Me your love eh”. It was every lovers’ favourite and we earnestly expected more from AY.com. But man was disappointed with the mid-singles that followed next.

DeeBee – Collabo

When we heard “Collabo” then coming from a relatively unknown artiste, you would want to slander him for a sensual song.

But as at then, this song went up at clubs and parties and once the DJ plays Collabo, anywhere you are, whatever you are doing, it ushers you into that dance consciousness.

It’s that song that makes you lose your home training, that’s if you’ve got one. DeeBee’s Collabo is still a hit till now but where’s DeeBee now?

Konga – Baby Konga

If you were in that era when once a song gets popular on the streets, it got popular everywhere also. It was that time Konga gave us Baby Konga.

Baby Konga was played by street DJs and every street buzzed the song. And wherever it went up at any Children’s Party, the kids exhibited any dance they knew because it was a vibe song. That’s how big it was.

But Konga betrayed our trust after. He just left the scene so fast. Another one-hit wonder we loved so much.

 Kelly Handsome

Kelly Handsome had an eventful music career though we don’t know if his music career is still functioning.

In his heydays, Kelly Handsome was the perfect replacement Kennis Music had to 2face or so they thought. In 2008, he released one of the biggest music materials that year – Maga Don Pay.

We all still chant that phrase “Maga Don Pay, shout hallelujah”. Afterwards, his music career went through a lot of ups and downs. Probably, Maga stooped paying.

Kelly Hansome made this revelation on the comment section of @officialhiptv on Instagram where Don Jazzy’s interview had been posted, Handsome accused the Marvin record boss of arresting him and his girlfriend with SARS.

According to the “Maga Don Pay” hitmaker, Don Jazzy moved him and his girlfriend from Kano to Abuja in handcuffs accompanied by SARS.

In the interview, Don Jazzy had given reasons why Wande Coal left his record label and begged him to come back.

Reacting to this, Kelly Hansome wrote;

“Did he also state why he and his girlfriend arrested me with SARS and moved me from Kano to Abuja in handcuffs? No, he won’t say that part, but it happened. Did he say why he sent his dogs to intimidate me and @rexidaminabo? No. Thank God Festus Keyamo is still alive today.”

In 2018, he had also made the accusation on his Instagram and claimed Jazzy tried to have him arrested twice. The second time was during the kano trip where he was accused of being a fraudster.
