Veteran singer Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, popularly known as Blackface, has voiced his disapproval of the lyrics in Rema’s hit song ‘Charm’.
News About Nigeria reports Blackface criticised certain lines in the song, deeming them insulting and suggesting that they reflect a lack of morals on Rema’s part.
Blackface expressed his concerns during a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Nedu.
According to him, he would not allow his daughter to marry someone like Rema because he lacks morals which is evident in his music.
In the podcast, Blackface questioned whether contemporary songs represent Nigeria positively.
He specifically highlighted some lyrics from Rema’s ‘Charm’, such as ‘I get money pass your papa’.
Blackface regarded these lines as disrespectful and not the kind of message he would want his daughter to embrace.
He elaborated on his point by emphasising that the words used in songs originate from the heart.
“The songs they are singing nowadays, do they represent Nigeria in a good light?
“‘I get money pass your papa, I get money pass your mama.’ What’s that? ‘Fine girl come wettin dey worry you?’ ‘You dey craze for your head?’ ‘You no know say I get money pass your papa?’ Is that the kind of man that my daughter will bring home to me for marriage?
“I will kick that daughter and the man out of my house. Because such men as Rema have no morals. I said he has no morals because what you speak comes from the heart,” he said.
