Bad is a song by Nigerian rapper, Mo Cheddah, and she featured another Nigerian rapper, Olamide. I wonder if Nigerians were sleeping when this song dropped. Honestly, this song is dope! Most of the lyrics are quite punchy. I loved in particular –
“Emi money long third mainland bridge (My money is long like Third Mainland bridge.)
Eyin coming soon Fourth mainland bridge (Yours is coming soon, Fourth Mainland Bridge.”)
Lol!
Moving on, but wait oh, did Mocheddah say she was gone for a minute? No Mo, please, it is more than a minute. Please, come back to the music scene. Nigerians have certainly missed your swag and flow. I miss your swag and flow!
What is the song “Bad” by Mocheddah ft Olamide all about?
Over time the meaning of “Bad,” has been reversed to mean something positive like being extremely skilled and so on.
In the song “Bad,” the artists talk about being extremely skilled in their field and being better than their music industry mates, who dare not come close to them or release their tune the day they release theirs.
They also brag about their capability, wealth, and status. They bragged about how they have stood the test of time, and her still standing and breaking records.
The B used by Mocheddah signifies B-tch
Punchy lines by Mo Cheddah
Emi Mo’Cheddah goal getter ehn (Me, Mo Cheddah, I am a goal getter.)

Eyin coming soon Fourth mainland bridge (Yours is coming soon, Fourth Mainland Bridge.”)
