Being Famous At A Tender Age Was Overwhelming – Lil Kesh Says

Keshinro Ololade, the Nigerian singer and rapper, who is popularly known as Lil Kesh, has opened up about becoming famous as a teenager.

The ‘Young And Getting It’ crooner explained that being successful at an early age was “overwhelming.”

Lil Kesh featured in a recent episode of the Esther Show, which was uploaded on YouTube on May 2, 2025.

He said, “Making it big early felt overwhelming. I blew at a very tender age. I was 19 when I got signed.

“I had just turned 20 when I had ‘Shoki.’ So, imagine being in the spotlight that early. I feel like that is not talk about so much.

“Shoutout to people like Justin Bieber who was vulnerable enough to tell his story. I went through things similar to that.

“Coming to the spotlight at a very early age, I was also deprived of a lot of things; life experiences that I should have learnt before. I was put in a high position at such an early stage. It was overwhelming trying to handle all of that.”
