The Lagos state police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, has raised concerns over the explicit content in rising singer Ayo Maff’s new song, “Last Week.”
The song’s lyrics glorify drug use, with the artist boasting about using cannabis and running out of it by Saturday.
On his social media, Hundeyin criticised the song, highlighting that half of the young people in prison are there due to drug abuse.
He emphasised that drug use often leads to criminal behaviour and urged artists to consider the impact of their lyrics on their audience.
The PPRO wrote: “He does what on Mondays and Saturdays? Help me listen.
“Like Asa said, there is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run…
“Fact: Half of the young ones in prison today wouldn’t be there if they didn’t do drugs. Drugs are a precursor to everything bad. Eni a wi fun…”
