Fela, Obey, Others Didn’t Promote Nudity Like Wande Coal, Others–KSB

* Kenny Saint Best, formerly known as Kenny Saint
Brown, is a popular gospel artiste in Nigeria who
has been in the music industry for a long time.
Her family is also synonymous to the
entertainment industry in Nigeria.
One of her siblings, Kenny Ogungbe, also known
as Baba Keke, is one of the few people who
revolutionized the booming music industry Nigeria
now
boasts of. He set up the Primetime Africa. He and
his friend-cum-partner, Dayo Adeneye, well known
as D-One, can never been forgotten when the
history of the entertainment sector in Nigeria is
narrated.
Though many still don’t regard KSB as a gospel
artiste as she claims, however, she is still a singer
who wields much influence in the industry
courtesy her brother’s influence. She has even
produced a protégé, Essence, who was once her
backup singer.
Speaking with our souces in an interview some
months ago, the former wife of defunct member
of Remedies music group, Eddy Montona,
disclosed that the problem with the Nigerian
music industry is because there is no leadership.
She was particular about the nudity being
promoted in some music videos, one of which
made her raised an alarm on Wande Coal’s music
video in 2012, which was later banned from being
played on television.
She, however, queried the regulatory body of
banning songs and music videos after they have
become a national anthem and charged them to
wake up from their slumber.
“It seems they (regulatory bodies) are sleeping. It
is until everybody has seen it (music videos
promoting nudity) that they now ban. In
Nollywood, some movies are termed ‘not to be
broadcast’, but in music, there is nothing of such,”
KSB fumed.
“You know the problem with the music industry,?”
she asked, “there is no trade union or leadership,”
she answered herself. She added further that, “so,
it is a free-for-all industry and nobody is saying
anything about it.”
She also said that, “I have been here for a long
time and legacies have been laid. If anybody feels
that they can just come and mess things up,
some of us will talk and kick against it. We didn’t
inherit this (nudity) from Onyeka Onwenu, Sunny
Okunsun, Ebenezer Obey, even Fela did not bring
nudity outside the Calaculta.”
KSB has released many singles and has done
collabos with top artises lie Terry G, late DaGrin
and many others.
