The Police Public Relations Officer for the Lagos State Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has publicly criticized rising singer Ayo Maff over the “indecent” lyrics in his new song ‘Last Week.’
In the opening verse of ‘Last Week,’ Ayo Maff boasts about using Canadian Loud, a potent synthetic strain of cannabis, from the beginning of the week and contacting his dealer when he runs out by Saturday. This portrayal of drug use has sparked concern among law enforcement officials.
Reacting to a viral snippet of the song on X, SP Hundeyin expressed his concern about the impact of such lyrics on young listeners. He highlighted that drug abuse is a significant factor leading to criminal behavior, noting that “half of the youths in prison wouldn’t be there if they didn’t indulge in drug abuse.
SP Hundeyin’s comments underscore the connection between illicit drug use and crime, emphasizing the role of drug abuse as a precursor to various criminal activities. His remarks are a call to artists and influencers to be mindful of the messages they promote through their work.
This incident serves as a reminder of the powerful influence that music and media have on society, particularly on young and impressionable audiences. SP Hundeyin’s criticism aims to encourage artists to use their platforms responsibly and avoid glamorizing drug use and other harmful behaviors.
