a Nigerian Artist, Olu Maintain's ' Enuff Efizzi' which this
writer reviewed two days ago has been deleted by
Youtube. According to Youtube, the content of the video
violated their terms of service.
Like this writer stated in the review, Olu's 'Enuff Efizzi'
was a very unusual music video. The entire scenes of the
said video did not match the accompanied audio. When
you have a 4/4 tempo tune where one would have expected
him to showcase our culture through this video, he opted
like he did in his last video to fool around with an unlit
cigar, wearing chains inside a jacuzzi , the entire concept
to me doesn't make any sense. Viewers also saw Olu
having a deep kiss with one of the models. It was also
disgusting seeing him with unshaven armpit while he tries
to portray a clean outlook.
Now, my personal opinion above may not be the reason
why his multi-million project was deleted. The melody of
the said song was composed off a bass line of a popular
song that made waves in the 80's which I also mentioned
in my write up. Olu quickly deleted my review on his
timeline as soon as he read my remarks.
In the past, an artist could buy a Youtube views and gets away with it, Youtube now has a mechanism that makes it practically impossible for you to try that scam which made
many musicians overnight 'stars'. This video by Olu Maintain is what I will call a lost opportunity. Olu really raised the bar in that video. The picture quality is second to none. The models, locations were all carefully selected.
Olu's 'Enuff Efizzi's video is a display of affluence,flaboyancy as most acts abroad do in their video.
Why Youtube used a sledge hammer on it, might not be un
connected with what I stated above.
In all, Olu can still re-edit and repost that video, abiding
by Youtube guidelines. If he fails to do so, the entire
millions of naira spent in making that video will be a
waste. Olu may never recover from the shock. I wish this
local based bro, the best. of luck .
