Nigerian rapper Lil Kesh has warned women he called gym baddies not to try tempting him, claiming he has stayed celibate for seven years while trying to focus on his life.
In a video that spread quickly online, the “Shoki” hitmaker addressed women with certain physiques directly.
“Hello, if you know you are a gym girly and your back is looking like this, please, I’m gonna need you to tone it down. I have been celibate for 7 years; I am trying to focus; don’t konjibait me,” he said.
Online reaction was swift and mostly skeptical. Some users treated the seven-year claim as rage bait, with one joking that he might mean seven months and another saying a celebrity remaining celibate that long was hard to believe. Others simply laughed off the warning as unbelievable for someone in his position.
Lil Kesh, whose real name is Keshinro Ololade, was born in March 1995 in Bariga, Lagos, and is 31. He broke through in 2014 with “Shoki” after signing to Olamide’s YBNL Nation and later launched his own YAGI Records. In a 2025 appearance on the Esther Show he said he had been single for a long time, had ended a relationship to focus on his career, and did not believe in marriage because he had seen too many unhappy ones. He added that he was not trying to make anyone his baby mama or wife anyone soon.
