What is Wrong with KSB?




There are two major reasons why i have decided to throw this question open:

First, can someone help me find out if Nigerian singer, KSB hasn't been bitten by a bug or something similar? First, she woke up one bright morning and decided to change her name from Kenny Saint Brown to Kenny Saint Best. That was slightly understandable and i reflected on the possibility that it was for very personal reasons, which most of us are aware of.

However, what i do not understand is why she woke up on another beautiful morning and suddenly became a moral crusader.

If you have ever watched Nigerian musical videos with bold models and dancers, then you would understand that showing some sensitive parts of their feminine side has always been an interesting element for millions of fans across the globe.

The likes of 2 Face, D'banj, Durella and several others have been involved in such musical videos which had models and dancers clad in revealing costumes.

What bothers me is, since when did KSB begin to liken musical videos to a church service.

Shortly after popular singer, Wande Coal released the video for his hit single, 'Go Low,' KSB took to Twitter and vividly expressed her dissatisfaction over what she personally considered an overkill in terms of how much the girls in the video exposed.

I cannot remember when anyone was forced to watch a musical video with a loaded gun pointed at his/her head. It has always been a matter of choice.

Well, in this case, KSB cried so hard and so loud and the next thing we heard was that the video had been banned by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC). I'm not saying she banged at NBC's door until they had the video banned but i'm merely looking at how it all happened.

She even associated the video with violent crimes against women.

Now that the video has been yanked off the local TV platforms and radio, I hope she's planning to throw a party over it?

KSB must however remember that the fact that the NBC has banned this song cannot in any way tame it's viral spread, appreciation and acceptance all over the world especially when one considers the fact that the video still gets loads of rotation on MTV Base, Channel O, Trace and Sound City.

Finally, i would like to ask what we should deliver to KSB on this note - a hug or a slap?
