Mercy Lambo in a Lambo: Check Out Rude Boy’s “Take It”
Big Brother Naija winner Mercy Lambo Eke stuns in the new Rude Boy music video Take It. Rude Boy’s Take It is another transactional love song about exchanging a lot of money for love, sex, and her not breaking his heart.
In the music video, Rude Boy takes Mercy on a shopping spree for clothes, bags, and even cars. Mercy Lambo lounges in her new Lambo that we hope she gets to keep; while Rude Boy sings this cliche love song that will likely be a hit.
Mercy puts her famous sultry body on display in another scene as she strips down to a two-piece bikini and shares a kiss with Rudeboy. She goes on to dance seductively for her man before taking a dip in the pool.
This song is a reflection of the heteronormative dating scene in Nigeria; where the money is the man’s commodity and beauty and sex are the woman’s commodities. Every relationship is transactional and will keep going as long as the money keeps flowing.
Unsurprisingly, the transactional sex that Falz vilified so much last year seems to find its way all over the lyrics of the most popular musical artistes.
This song is quite on-brand for Valentine’s day, one of the most capitalist “holidays” where male providers buy access to women’s bodies.
