“Oliver Twist” latest single by the Koko master, Dbanj, which just hit the airwaves has been halted by the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission [NBC].
The NBC put out a circular to all media houses halting playing of the song on radio or TV stations with immediate effect, on the grounds of using “Lewd Lyrics”.
Just as music lovers and fans of the Mohits are beginning to appreciate the creativity in the industry the news came as a shocker.
Reacting to the alleged NBC ban, Don Jazzy, Mo’Hits C.E.O has played down the censor saying that “they only banned it because they have the power to do so”.
News of the ban has pulled reactions from popular music artist across the nation, Ruggedman who spread the news via Twitter saying: “NBC strikes again. 1st @IAM2SHOTZ Supermandead is banned. Now its @iamdbanj Oliver Twist. Na wah o cc @DONJAZZY’, @Ruggedybaba tweeted. The rapper further disclosed that he got the information on the ban from radio station Cool FM Abuja.
“The truth is that the person that banned this song will hear this song till he is sick of it. He will hear it at almost every party he goes to. He will hear it from the cars that will drive pass him.
He will hum the melody even in his sleep. He’ll probably record his own version of the Oliver video sef lol. He is doing his job so let’s allow him exercise his power. It’s allowed. May God bless him and his hustle? No long thing”. Ruggedman continued.
