Earlier in the week, boy band Sauti Sol released a video that sent the internets into a frenzy. Just as its name “Nishike” (touch me) suggests, the video lives up to its name.
While Sauti Sol got the streets talking about their new sweltering video, there were very slim chances that the video would be aired on local TV stations; and the reason is pretty obvious; it’s just too damn hot for TV.
Whereas the boys managed to turn up the spice, heat up some controversy, and push boundaries in their new music video, “Nishike” won’t be gracing your TV screens.
This was revealed last night at the inaugural Mdundo Awards by the lead vocalist & guitarist of the afro-pop band, Bien Aime.
In the middle of his “thank you” speech for everyone who came through to make possible the super viral video, the towering vocalist disclosed that the band’s lawyer is currently at the corridors of justice to petition against the banning of the video.
According to Bien, “Nishike” was banned for “showing pornography”.
We are to establish if the video has officially been banned from airing on TV. But if so, Sauti Sol won’t be the only artist, nor will it be the last to get a big fat CENSORSHIP sticker plastered across its video reel as P-Unit’s “You Guy” was listed as a controversial line-stepping video that received Citizen TV’s axe.
