Fast-rising youngster Warden Kartel’s father has come out to defend his son amidst online criticism for his lyrics that are considered to be too explicit for his age.

A Pass came out during a live TikTok broadcast criticising young talent Warden Kartel for his viral sound on social media. A Pass acknowledged the youngstar being talented, and the song was good but the lyrics were too mature for a 10-year-old boy.

He revealed that if he had a chance to advise Warden, he would discourage him from recording and releasing explicit material until he is at a certain age.

During a phone interview, Adam, Warden’s father, put to rest the claims, noting that Warden used ghetto slang which was taken out of context by people like A Pass. 

“Where we stay in the ghetto, the song is about a small chain. People uptown do not understand our slang. That is why many people came out to speak on it but he was not being vulgar. Uptown has their own slang that is different from ours. They will not understand us,” he said.

Adam accused A Pass of using his son’s fame to draw attention to himself, insisting that, as Warden’s manager, he would never allow his son to release an obscene song, explaining that he always listened to the lyrics and reviewed them before any song was made available to the public.

“He should leave him alone because as a father, I can never let my child be that vulgar. He doesn’t write his song, someone else writes it and I take time to listen to it before releasing it. We will not be changing anything,” he said.
