‎Nigerian rapper, Keshinro Ololade, popularly known as Lil Kesh, has opened up about how getting famous at a young age became overwhelming.

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

‎According to him, getting famous at a tender age which includes him being signed at the age of 19 - was overwhelming.

‎
‎He further noted that the spotlight deprived him of a lot of life experiences that he should have learnt before.

‎
‎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.”
