Nigerian Broadcasting Commission has banned Wizkid’s Back to the matter and Phyno’s Man of the year due to their explicit lyrical content.
Beat FM’s Gbemi Olateru, reported the ban via twitter several hours ago.
Recall that May-D’s Soundtrack, Femi Kuti’s Bang Bang Bang etc had in the past been banned from airplay for containing explicit lyrics.

Artistes pls censor your songs . Take the time to make a radio edit if you want it played on radio. NBC is breathing down our necks
