Keshinro Ololade, Nigerian rapper and songwriter better known as Lil Kesh, has revealed that he was signed to his record label because of Lyrically.

The 21-year-old YBNL Nation act said Olamide Baddo, also known as Adedeji Olamide, developed interest in him after listening to Lyrically, a single he released in 2014.

“Na through Vktoh I meet Baddo, we dey go places go dey do rap battle and open mic; Vktoh be Baddo friend wey don know Baddo before I know Baddo,” he said in pidgin English.

“When I come drop Lyrically, the song too sweet am for body, na the song come make Baddo talk say I like this boy, Vktoh help me call am.”

In an interview with Naija fm, Keshinro said the ban of his songs by the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission has not in any way affected his musical career.

“By the time wey they ban the song even JS II student don get am for phone, everybody don get am.

“The song don blow already, they no need make anybody play the song for them. When I hear the gist say NBC ban Shoki, I say God bless them.

“When they tell me again say NBC don ban Gbese, I say God bless them because the song don blow before they ban am so I give God the glory.”

The artiste who turned 21 few weeks ago described himself as a humble person and clarified that he is not pompous as it is believed.

“If you don see me like that before, maybe you get the wrong impression. Abeg I no dey pompous, those wey know me know me.”

Shoki and Gbese were banned by the NBC for containing obscene and vulgar lyrics.
