A foremost traditional ruler in Ogun State, the Olu of Kemta, Oba Adetokunbo Tejuosho, has criticised Fuji star Taye Currency over his performance at the coronation of the 44th Olubadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja.
Oba Tejuosho described the singer’s lyrics, particularly the line “Were la fi n wo were” (madness is cured with madness), as “disgusting and uncultured,” stressing that a coronation is a sacred and solemn event, not an arena for careless entertainment.
The monarch faulted the choice of artiste for the ceremony, insisting that musicians invited to such historic occasions should project dignity and cultural respect.
The performance has since sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some defending Taye Currency as a “son of the soil,” while others agreed it was inappropriate for the traditional event.
