Musician calls new Olubadan insane at his party

Fuji musician Taye Currency faced widespread criticism after performing lyrics that were considered controversial during the installation ceremony for Oba Rashidi Ladoja as Olubadan of Ibadanland. Currency sang phrases translating to using insanity to cure insanity, sparking outrage across social media platforms. The backlash pushed the performer to trending status on X as users questioned the appropriateness of such content.

President Bola Tinubu attended the coronation alongside Governor Seyi Makinde and several traditional rulers from across Nigeria. The ceremony marked Ladoja's ascension to the throne two months after his predecessor passed away. Critics accused organizers of poor judgment in selecting Currency for the historic event, suggesting other musicians would have delivered more suitable performances for the traditional occasion.
