on Wande Cole's controversial song, Go Low's video, won the case as
the musical video was banned a few
days after that declaration.
As you're reading this now, the former wife of. Asiodu Brown, KSB has
challenged the Performing Musician Association of Nigeria, over the
body's inability to regulate the content of music videos being
released by its members.
The singer also said the decadence portrayed in the videos was
assuming a terrible dimension. Hear her opinion, "the fact that every
industry has a body that governs and checks its activities
and the music industry has none has made it an all-comer affair.
Nobody is regulating us.
PMAN has failed in itself. If the body is doing its job properly, it
is not in my place to fight it. But I will make noise and criticise my
colleagues openly. It is getting terrible." It will be recalled that
the petite artiste recently caused a stir on Twitter when she
challenged the Marvin Crew boss, Don Jazzy, over the semi-nudity in
Wande Coal's music video, Go Low.
Although the video was banned shortly after, KSB has come under attack
from fans and critics who felt that she went a step too far. In
defence, she says, "It was not a personal attack. I had to reach out
to Don Jazzy because he is a big guy in the industry and so people
will naturally follow him; more so Wande Coal is an artiste under his
label. If I don't make it a
duty to speak out as a woman and practitioner them I have failed, I
had to speak out on Twitter to my colleagues because I felt it is a
better forum, even if they do not get to read it, their
followers will read and re-tweet. NBC should wake up. It is not until
a video has been well played and thoroughly digested that the
regulators should now act."
KSB also says the power to stop the trend also lies in the hands of TV
stations. "If the NBC cannot nip this trend in the bud,
then the TV stations should set up a department to screen the videos
before they hit the screen. There must be a penalty. It is getting too
bad and has an effect on children, women and men.
Little wonder there is an increase in rape cases," she concluded.
