Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. Sierra Leonean rapper YOK 7 has publicly urged Parliament to prioritize addressing the pressing Kush crisis rather than engaging in chants at the First Lady, emphasizing the need for urgent national focus on critical issues.
The rapper and Noble Squad CEO, alis YOK 7 Da Snipper noted that the chant, was heard clearly as the First Lady entered Parliament during the State Opening, was caught live on national TV and quickly spread on social media.
It has been one of the most talked-about events in recent days. The video, shared widely across platforms, showed some Members of Parliament chanting loudly before the First Lady took her seat. The moment caused public reactions both online and offline, with many calling it disrespectful.
Some called it an attack on women in leadership, while others saw it as a political distraction.
While others focused on the chant itself, YOK 7 took a different path. In a short but clear message, he pointed out that the same energy shown in Parliament to chant should be used to fight real issues, especially the spread of Kush and other drugs that are killing the country’s youth.
He reminded the country that while the chant directed at the First Lady received wide attention, the real crisis is still happening every day in streets, homes, and schools.
Kush, a harmful synthetic drug, continues to affect communities across Sierra Leone. Many families have lost loved ones to addiction, and users have been seen in dangerous conditions. Health workers and local leaders have raised concerns, but action from authorities has been slow.
In recent months, local reports have shown rising numbers of Kush-related hospital cases, especially among young men in urban areas.
But YOK 7’s post has added to a wider conversation. It is no longer just about the chant. It is about what Parliament is doing or not doing when it comes to the struggles young people face every day. Many people online have agreed with his message, saying Parliament should stop focusing on drama and focus on problems that are destroying lives.
The footage from Parliament continues to circulate online. The chant and YOK 7’s message have kept people talking across the country, drawing attention to how national figures like First Lady Fatima Maada Bio are treated and to the urgent problems facing Sierra Leone’s youth.
