The footage, which circulated widely on social media, showed two male students repeatedly beating and kicking another student who had fallen to the ground while other pupils watched.

At one point, one of the attackers dragged the victim by his school uniform and stomped on his chest as the boy cried in pain. A third student filming the incident could also be heard pleading with the attackers to stop.

The shocking clip sparked outrage across social media platforms, prompting calls for accountability.

Reflecting on the video, Lil Kesh admitted it stirred up painful memories from his own childhood.

“This is honestly really triggering for me to watch because I got bullied when I was younger and seeing these kids gang up on other kids makes me mad,” the singer wrote.

He went on to highlight the psychology behind bullying, noting that perpetrators often struggle with empathy and personal insecurities.

“What’s sad is it’s always the kids with the least empathy, low self esteem and insecurities picking on the ones who actually have a heart,” he added.

Lil Kesh also called on parents to instil values of kindness and empathy in their children.

“Parents really need to raise their kids to care about other people, because this kind of behavior doesn’t just come out of nowhere. It’s upsetting to watch,” he said.

Following the public backlash, the Edo State Police confirmed that the students directly involved had been expelled by the school. Police spokesperson Eno Ikioyedem stated that the state Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika, had instructed the Divisional Police Officer in the area to conduct a full investigation.

“The Edo State Police Command totally condemns acts of bullying, violence or intimidation among students, and anyone found culpable will be dealt with in accordance with the law,” the statement read.

The incident has reignited conversations about school bullying in Nigeria, with social media users and celebrities alike urging stricter measures to protect vulnerable students.

Drawing inspiration from the infamous Nigerian robber Lawrence Anini, the song uses the “thief” metaphor to describe how deeply she has stolen his heart.

The lyrics portray intense attraction, emotional confusion, and the struggle to make sense of a complicated love interest.

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on “Anini (Thief)” Lyrics by Lil Kesh.

Named after the infamous 1980s Nigerian outlaw, the track isn’t about crime in the literal sense. Instead, Lil Kesh flips the narrative, using the name as a metaphor for a woman who “stole” his heart. It’s clever, bold, and layered with the kind of streetwise storytelling that first made him a standout during his YBNL Nation era.

After keeping a relatively low profile for a while, Anini signals a return to form but not a recycled one. This is the familiar YAGI energy, now sharpened and dressed in 2026 polish.

Production-wise, the record is a powerhouse. The beat is intense and unrelenting, creating a charged atmosphere that perfectly complements Lil Kesh’s animated delivery. There’s a certain urgency in the rhythm, almost frantic, yet controlled. It feels intentional, a nod to his loyal fanbase, while the crisp, modern sound engineering ensures it holds its own among today’s high-gloss Afrobeats releases.

At a time when Afrobeats continues to evolve into a more refined and globally tuned genre, Lil Kesh proves he can still bridge the gap between raw street energy and contemporary finesse.

Anini (Thief) serves as a reminder that while sounds may shift and trends may rotate, the charisma and spark of the YAGI boss remain unmistakably timeless.

Nigerian rap powerhouse Olamide Adedeji, simply known as Olamide, lit up London on Saturday night as he shut down the iconic 12,500-capacity OVO Arena Wembley with a performance that felt like a homecoming, a celebration, and a legacy moment all at once.

The night kicked off on an electrifying note the moment Olamide launched into “Lagos Boys,” instantly sending a wave of excitement through the arena. From that moment, the tempo never dropped.

Hit after hit, verse after verse, fans roared back every lyric as if they’d waited years for this exact night and in many ways, they had.

Before long, the show morphed into a full-blown YBNL reunion. One by one, Olamide’s protégés Asake, Fireboy DML, Lil Kesh, Pheelz, and Bella Shmurda stormed the stage, turning the concert into a star-studded family affair.

The crowd ate it up, witnessing a spectacular 50-song run that doubled as a tribute to both Olamide’s catalogue and the dynasty he has built.

From timeless street anthems like Wo!!, Shakiti Bobo, and Eru to fresh collaborative moments with the YBNL signees, the night felt like a living documentary of Olamide’s journey.

His surprise guests didn’t just add hype; they underscored a powerful truth: Olamide isn’t only a performer; he’s a mentor, a builder, and the quiet engine behind some of Afrobeats’ biggest modern stars.

Wembley pulsed with energy as fans danced, screamed, and belted out every track, creating a shared nostalgia that bridged old fans and new ones. It was a subtle reminder that even with the heated rivalries and shifting tides in Nigeria’s music scene, Olamide’s influence remains unshakeable.

Nearly a decade after his last solo UK headline show in 2016, his return to the London stage felt symbolic. The world has changed, Afrobeats has gone global, and still, Olamide stands tall as one of Nigeria’s most impactful musical exports.

In the end, the night was bigger than a sold-out concert; it was a statement. A celebration of Afrobeats’ global reach. A nod to Olamide’s longevity. And perhaps, one of the most unforgettable evenings of his career.

Olamide’s OVO Arena performance didn’t just reaffirm his star power it reminded everyone why his music continues to move streets, charts, and hearts across the world.

The project marks a defining new chapter for the fast-rising star, whose deep vocals, street-inspired storytelling, and raw authenticity have made him one of the most talked-about voices in the new wave of Afro-fusion.

Best known for his breakout hit Chandelier, Monaky continues to push boundaries with ZAZAFEST, which features collaborations with two of Nigeria’s most dynamic acts, Lil Kesh and Jeriq.

Lil Kesh is expected to bring his trademark YAGI energy, while Jeriq, the Igbo trap heavyweight, reunites with Monaky after their fan-favorite collaboration, 7 Grams.

The EP’s cover art depicting Monaky against a fiery red backdrop with bold graffiti lettering perfectly mirrors the project’s fierce, rebellious spirit.

The title ZAZAFEST itself hints at a celebration of street culture, ambition, and the relentless hustle that fuels Nigeria’s creative scene.

Drawing sonic inspiration from Afrobeat, trap, and highlife, the Edo-born artist is reportedly experimenting with fresh rhythms and layered storytelling.

His music, often compared to that of Fela Kuti and Burna Boy, strikes a balance between grit and grace, a quality that has earned him a devoted fan base eagerly awaiting this release.

With ZAZAFEST just weeks away, anticipation continues to surge. For Monaky, this isn’t just another project; it’s a statement, a festival of sound that reaffirms his place among Nigeria’s most exciting and fearless new stars.

• Police confirm the arrest of suspects in connection with Lil Kesh’s stabbing and robbery.

The Kano State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of two men in connection with the violent robbery and stabbing of Nigerian artist Ololade Keshinro, popularly known as Lil Kesh.

The suspects, 25-year-old Mathew Adewole and 31-year-old Mukhtar Muhammad, were apprehended during an intelligence-driven operation at Na’ibawa Quarters, Kano.

Police say the pair were directly linked to the August 19, 2025, attack on Lil Kesh at his residence in Bera Estate, Chevron, Lagos, where the singer was left with deep neck wounds in what investigators described as an attempted murder.

Following the incident, Lil Kesh reassured fans of his recovery in a post on X, writing:

“Life threw me a curveball, but I’m safe, healing, and blessed to be here. I’m grateful for the love, support, and prayers.”

Life threw me a curveball, but I’m safe, healing, and blessed to be here. Grateful for the love, support and prayers.🤍

Police spokesperson SP Abdullahi Haruna disclosed that Adewole confessed to carrying out the assault and later transferring ₦2.12 million from the singer’s account into Muhammad’s account using his mobile phone.

The recovered funds have been entered as evidence, while the suspects have been handed over to the Lagos State Police Command for further investigation and prosecution.

Haruna described the arrests as a “major breakthrough” made possible through intelligence sharing and community cooperation, in line with Inspector-General Kayode Egbetokun’s directive to intensify intelligence-led policing.

The Command reiterated its commitment to tackling violent crime through strengthened intelligence frameworks and sustained community policing initiatives.

In the picture, Lil Kesh, dressed in a white singlet and resting on a couch, sported bandages around his ear and neck—clear signs of the injuries he sustained. Despite the scars, he appeared composed, signaling steady progress in his healing journey.

He was immediately rushed to the hospital, where surgeons successfully reattached the injured ear through emergency surgery. Since then, the artist has been keeping a low profile, focusing on his recovery away from the public spotlight.

Nigerian rap icon and YBNL boss, Olamide, has offered fans a rare peek into how he views some of the top stars in Afrobeats using just one word for each.

Appearing on the latest episode of Flow with Korty, which aired on Sunday, August 3, 2025, Olamide sat down with host Korty EO for a relaxed in-car conversation that took a personal turn.

During the chat, he was asked to sum up several of his peers and protégés using only a single word, and his answers were both surprising and insightful.

When Fireboy DML came up, Olamide didn’t hesitate: “Amazing.” The YBNL signee has long enjoyed a close mentor-mentee relationship with Olamide, and the admiration clearly runs deep.

Asked about Adekunle Gold, Olamide paused briefly before choosing “audacious,” likely a reflection of the singer’s daring evolution from highlife to a more experimental, pop-driven sound.

The biggest surprise came when Lil Kesh was described as “adorable.” The unexpected term drew laughter and curiosity, offering a soft, affectionate glimpse into their past label connection.

For Asake, the breakout star known for his energetic performances and chart-topping hits, Olamide selected “spontaneous,” hinting at the artist’s unpredictability and explosive rise within the music scene.

And when it came to describing himself, the seasoned hitmaker paused thoughtfully before landing on the word “peaceful.” A calm contrast to the fiery energy that often surrounds the music industry, it’s a fitting label for someone who’s grown into a statesman-like figure in Nigerian music.

Olamide’s brief but powerful descriptions quickly stirred buzz online, with fans appreciating the glimpse into how one of the industry’s most influential figures sees his colleagues and himself.
