There has been a lot of criticism following rapper Olamide‘s new single “Science Student” especially as it is perceived to promote drug abuse.
The YBNL boss had erstwhile been silent on the issue but has now spoken via an Instagram post. He took time out to thank supporters of his music before advocating for an end to drug abuse.
Among those criticizing the song is veteran filmmaker and communication expert, Don Pedro Obaseki who has requested for a ban of the song ‘Science Student’ by appropriate authorities.
Another notable critique of the song who has come out publicly to raise an alarm on the negative influence of the song is fast rising actress, Lala Akindoju, who took to her Instagram page to express her reservations for the lyrical content of ‘Science Student’ especially because it promotes the use of drugs and everyone seemed to be quiet about it
Read olamide’s post below;
“Since the release of #ScienceStudent, the support has been massive. As you are all sharing, dancing, singing along to this relatable music of mine, I want you all to take some time to reflect on the subject, say no to drug abuse. Don’t abuse alcohol. Stop mixing what you don’t know about. Live responsibly and drink responsibly.
Don’t aspire the ‘highness state’ but a state of purpose fulfillment and passion discovery. Together let’s put an end to drug abuse and save as many lives as possible”
