Media personality JJ Exclusive has weighed in on the ongoing “Olodo Uprising” debate, criticizing Nigerian rapper YCee over his remarks about content creator Peller.
Speaking on the controversy, JJ Exclusive described Peller as a talented entertainer and argued that YCee was wrong to associate him with what he called an “olodo culture.”
“Peller is a proper entertainer, and that is a good value. YCee is a big mumu for referring to Peller as an olodo culture, completely wrong.”
The comments come amid heated discussions sparked by YCee’s criticism of what he described as the “Peller culture,” where he argued that society now celebrates content that appears unintelligent while academic excellence receives less recognition.
JJ Exclusive’s remarks have added another voice to the growing list of entertainers and public figures taking sides in the debate, which has dominated conversations across Nigerian social media.
@timilayy: “Let YCee bring out his lyrics too na make we see if na olodo or intelligent lyrics.”
@teefroshsings: “Let’s be honest, that speech YCee gave feels like a hate speech. It’s almost as if he already had Peller in mind.”
@Ntt1290970: “Leave am naw 😂 when him dey drop mumu songs wey dem dey pay am for shows why him no reject am give people wey finish school.”
@papi_trapo: “Did he say Peller is not entertaining? Clearly many of you guys need to be properly educated.”
@wisespade62: “Una be part of the problem. If Peller goes to school, he should act like one. Why would you portray yourself as olodo just to get clicks? It’s the same olodo culture he’s portraying.”
@cfc_satturn: “Any olodo wey pass Seyi Vibez na something else 🤣.”
