Mavo’s “Your Body Na Meatpie” and the Trouble With Today’s Lyrics

Mavo fans won’t like this but someone has to say it. In this episode of The Artiste Hangout Podcast with Femi Makx, we unpack the viral lyric “Your body na meatpie” from Mavo’s new track Body featuring CKay and what it reveals about the growing problem with how women are portrayed in today’s music.


This conversation is not about canceling Mavo. It is about accountability, awareness, and how words shape culture. Femi Makx breaks down why lyrics like this matter, what they teach young listeners, and why the Nigerian music industry needs to rethink what it glorifies.


From TikTok trends to everyday street lingo, this episode challenges artistes and fans to reflect on how far creativity should go and where we draw the line between expression and objectification.



The Artiste Hangout with Femi Makx continues to grow as a leading Afrobeats and Nigerian music podcast, charting in over 30 countries across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The podcast has reached Top 10 in multiple regions and Top 30 in Nigeria’s Music Interviews category on Apple Podcasts, with strong performance on Spotify. It currently sits within the Top 1% of podcasts globally, reflecting its growing influence in African music conversations.


At Artiste Hangout with Femi Makx, the conversation starts where the music ends. Hosted by music journalist Femi Makx, this isn't a typical interview show; it's a deep, meandering exploration of how the sounds we love are forged. Each episode is built on the premise that a song is never just a song-it's a product of identity, a response to power structures, a spark of creativity shaped by its time. You'll hear long-form, in-depth conversations that deliberately wander, connecting artistic choices to the wider currents of youth culture and social change. The podcast operates from a simple, powerful idea: to examine music not as a passive soundtrack, but as an active, living commentary. This means peeling back the layers of a hit record to find the personal and political stories underneath, or understanding how a specific creative scene reflects broader shifts in society. The analysis is thoughtful and the atmosphere is more like a candid backstage chat than a formal Q&A. It’s for anyone who listens to a track and wonders about the world that made it, who sees the artist as a citizen and their work as a cultural artifact. Tune in for a perspective that treats the creative landscape with the seriousness it deserves, making each episode a hangout that challenges how you hear everything.
