Following the rapper FalzTheBahdGuy recent interview with HipTv where advised his fellow Nigerian musicians to stop promoting and glorifying fraudsters in their music.
Many opinions, hateful comments have been observed in all social media platforms with sections supporting the right-handed rapper rapper, while some criticized the veteran musician’s indirect shadowing, 9ice ‘Living Things.
The event may now have taken a new turn with new facts presented in the period when this issue flourished in the industry.
With all the hatred finally paving the way for self-esteemed, mentally displaced and unworthy people to be suddenly consumed with ego rights and bragging in the absence of real life, it should be noted that this norm (Glorifying fraud) really been fraudsters in play for a long time.
For carriers of the slogan ‘I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, so I must ‘Chache’, here are 10 songs by Nigerian acts promoting fraudsters.
10. D’Banj – Mobolowowon

8. Kelly Hansome – Maga Don Pay
Number 3 on my list is Kelly Handsome, a singer of modest talents, is one of the latest artistes to grace the flourishing Nigerian music scene.
His break out video entitled Maga don Pay is an ode to Nigeria’s notorious 419 fraudsters; an unabashed psalm of adoration for their nefarious exploits. Like most Nigerian music videos, it projects a range of compelling cultural meanings. There is the ardent glorification of criminal behaviour, the vile objectification of women and the celebration of unearned riches.

The heated debates, nuances and tastes for hours were held across the country to find out whether Falz is right or not. With some agreement Falz is right, but should have just closed his eyes as others have done, and others, suddenly find writing mind, were writing long letters that open … ‘do you really think? Falz is right and if he is, will he win the brewing war?
