Veteran Nigerian musician Blackface recently made headlines when he expressed concerns about his daughter marrying a somebody like rising star Rema, citing the singer's apparent lack of morals.
Blackface took advantage of the chance to bring up the moral aspects he feels are lacking in some contemporary artists during the conversation.
He gave Rema and his lyrics as an example, quoting a line from Rema's song "Charm" in which the singer blatantly brags, "I get money pass your papa."
The singer realized he couldn't fathom his daughter accepting a stranger into their home who would say such a thing.
