The ban came after Federal Ministry of Health led by honourable Minister, Isaac Adewole said Olamide’s new street anthem ‘WO’ is in violation of Tobacco Control Act 2015. According to the Ministry, Olamide’s latest song, which is the latest Nigerian hit song, shot in Bariga, is a danger to the public as it promotes a dangerous habit that encourages second-hand smoking. The risks from this include cancers, respiratory & cardiovascular diseases
The YBNL boss had however, responded to the outrage, saying he had no intention of promoting tobacco to get people killed with his music.
