Nigeria Afropop singer, Abolore Akande a.k.a 9ice has reacted to the ongoing social media outrage over his song titled Living Things. The song purportedly glorifies internet fraud a.k.a Yahoo Yahoo. Falz had earlier decried Nigerian artistes who praise internet scammers in their song. According to him: “As an entertainer, sing about something that can help our life, paint a picture, tell a story, don’t glorify fraudulent behavior; it’s not good”.
In his reaction, the self-proclaimed Alapomeji said the song is not promoting internet fraud in any way. He added that the song promotes hard work and self- reliance.
“It’s not about promoting fraud so to speak, It’s about someone who wakes up in the morning and needs to go and earn a living. It’s not negative.
“It’s positive, you just have to be in that realm to understand what the song is all about,” the singer revealed in a recent interview.
9ice grew up in a polygamous home of five wives and nine children. His parents found about his singing career a year after it started around 2000. Before then, 9ice wrote his own songs, beginning at age 14. As a big fan of Pasuma Wonder, he kick-started his singing career with Fuji music. He derives his inspiration from his environment, and music from the likes of Ebenezer Obey, King Sunny Adé, Tatalo Alamu, the late Alhaji Ayinla Omowura, and the late Alhaji Haruna Ishola.
