Lasmid Confirms He’s A Bad Boy, Not A Lover Boy.

The award-winning Ghanaian star shook X on Saturday with a post that has now turned into a full-blown identity statement:

“They say Lasmid sings too many love songs but every brother complaining has a girlfriend. So what exactly are we doing here? Besides, I’m a bad boy not a lover boy.”

 

This isn’t new. If you really listened to Lasmid, he has been telling us this from the start.

On Bad Boy (2023), his biggest confession, he sings: “I know you think that I am bad, you don’t want me, I’m not okay. Bad boy want to know.”It’s not a love song in the traditional sense. It’s a plea from a guy who knows he has a reputation, smokes, stays out late, but is still begging for love and attention.

That’s his brand of bad. Not the gun-toting bad boy. The Ghanaian campus bad boy; the charming, slightly troublesome, fashionable guy with tattoos and a soft heart who still makes your girlfriend smile when his song comes on.

When he says “I’m a bad boy not a lover boy,” he is reclaiming control of his narrative. A lover boy sings for women. A bad boy sings about his own experiences with women. One is selfless, the other is personal and a bit selfish. Lasmid is choosing the latter.

 

In Afrobeats, tags stick. Once they call you a lover boy, it becomes hard to switch to drill, trap, or street anthems without people saying you’ve changed.

Lasmid knows that. He came from the streets of Takoradi, came through MTN Hitmaker, and built a sound that mixes Highlife melodies with gritty street slang. Reducing that to just “love songs” erases his edge.
