Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, the Nigerian rapper fondly called Vector, has appealed to his colleagues to stop ignoring the harsh realities faced by Nigerians.
Vector took to his page on X (formerly Twitter) to urge his colleagues not to turn a blind eye to the struggles of their fans — but to reconsider their stance and align themselves with the experiences of their audience.
To the celebrities taking sides against the reality of their own people/fans, it may be best to repent before you become the only reachable option if the hardship doesn’t stop.#stopsupportingbadgovernance

The rapper also warned that if they persist, they might become the only reachable option if the hardship continues.
“To the celebrities taking sides against the reality of their own people/fans, it may be best to repent before you become the only reachable option if the hardship doesn’t stop,” Vector wrote.
There is an ongoing nationwide protest against economic hardship and soaring inflation. Tagged “10 Days of Rage,” the demonstration is to “#EndBadGovernance”.
Several celebrities, including Toyin Abraham, Seyi Law, and Eniola Badmus, endorsed President Bola Tinubu during his 2023 campaign.
Since Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, these celebrities have faced intense criticism over the current administration’s policies.
Vector rose to fame in 2010 after releasing his first official single ‘Kilode’ from the album ‘State of Surprise’.
He has three other albums including ‘Lafiaji’ (2016), ‘Teslim: The Energy Still Lives In Me’, and ‘Vibes Before Teslim’ (2019).
