The incident, which allegedly occurred on Wednesday, has left fans and colleagues in shock, with many taking to social media to express concern and offer prayers for the 29-year-old artiste.
According to a report by Hip TV, Lil Kesh was stabbed in the neck while being dispossessed of his valuables. However, as of the time of reporting, neither the singer nor the Lagos State Police Command had issued an official statement regarding the attack.
The news spread rapidly across social platforms, sparking a wave of sympathy from music lovers and fellow entertainers who described the situation as both “unfortunate” and “disturbing.” Many also expressed hope for his swift recovery.
Lil Kesh, who rose to fame in 2014 with the viral hit “Shoki”, has remained one of the notable voices in Nigeria’s street-hop genre. Over the years, he has worked with industry heavyweights such as Olamide, Davido, and Wizkid, cementing his influence on the contemporary Nigerian music scene.
The reported attack underscores growing concerns about insecurity in Lagos and its impact on public figures who often face heightened risks due to their visibility and lifestyle.
