While at the concert celebrating the 10 years in music of Adekunle Gold, the touching moment occurred when a special voice message from his wife, Simi, and their four-year-old daughter, Deja, was played on stage.

The message started with Deja enthusiastically declaring her love for her father, saying "I love you, Daddy!" Simi then sang a heartfelt song, expressing her love and appreciation for her husband. The emotional display clearly caught Adekunle Gold off guard, and he was seen breaking down in tears on stage.

A viral video captured the moment, showing Adekunle Gold hiding his face to compose himself as the audience cheered him on. He was later handed a tissue to wipe away his tears. The heartfelt moment has been widely shared on social media, with fans and well-wishers praising the beautiful display of love and appreciation within Adekunle Gold's family.

Also, Simi hinted that Adekunle should have reciprocated with a more lavish display of love, specifically spraying her with money. However, Adekunle, unfazed, maintained his calm demeanor, still flashing the peace sign and smiling.

Meanwhile, the lighthearted exchange ended with Simi smiling and facing the camera, while Adekunle held the television remote.

Pray with me, even if you no believe

The post Smile For Me Lyrics by Simi appeared first on NotjustOk.

One thing about Nigerian music, even when it was generally not as good as it currently is, we always got served with good music videos that pieced together quality directing, choreography, styling and a resolution that was for the most part, at par with videos in that era. With the right factors coming together to get our music more attention first on the local scene before the international, this attention to visual details had become an additional booster that had piqued the interest of music stations to spin local videos and music enthusiasts to tune in. So in this story, we pay homage to Nigerian music videos but take a spin on it by highlighting the animated ones.

What are visualisers? 

Apparently, visualizers are different from music videos in that while they're visuals that accompany a song, they're typically very simplistic with the aim of bringing the song to life in an easy-to-follow manner that is still interesting. Most times they're digital and are animated. 

See the 10 Nigerian music videos that are animated; 

1. Suuru Lere by Lagbaja

Lagbaja's Suuru Lere is an 8-minute-long track that recounts Nigeria's political history, right from the amalgamation to the moment we gained independence and the onslaught of ensuing coups. All of these events were rendered in animation to provide viewers young and old with a well-detailed and graphic depiction of the circumstances surrounding our democracy, which was the crux of the song; patience with each other despite our myriad differences in the face of the democratic mandate. 

Today, Lagbaja's Suuru Lere is 22 years old as it was released in the year 2000 but it seems the message in his song and the visuals collectively flew right over the nation's head with the state of affairs mirroring that depicted in the video. 

2. Ijoya by Weird MC

Weird MC's Ijoya was a huge hit in 2006 when it was released, and it launched the rapper into the limelight. Its fully animated video had further endeared the song to its viewers, as kids most especially were in love with its colorful graphics that saw Weird MC go from swaggering in front of a Hummer Jeep to dancing with an all-female troupe as well as talking drum players. 

The video was also additionally brilliant in that the much-loved animation had distracted viewers from Weird MC’s utterly masculine-presenting style which may have rubbed the highly normative Nigerian society the wrong way if rendered in the typical life-like form.

3. For Instance by 2Baba 

Its simple video which was in animated form saw 2Baba appear in many scenes from traffic to the club and in newspapers and this colourful depiction had been well-received, earning the video a formidable run on music video stations. 

4. Action Film by M.I Abaga featuring Brymo

The late 2000s and early 2010s were owned by iconic rapper M.I Abaga and in 2010 he gave TV an unforgettable moment with the video of his Action Film. It had been animated, action and sleuth filled with M.I as the main character carrying out stunts from a car to a plane, dressed up in a sharp suit in a bid to rescue a kidnapped woman. 

Towards the end, Ice Prince made a timely cameo, coming in to save M.I when the chips were down and these elements and its close depiction of the chaos in Lagos and a typical action movie served to make the video a favourite.

5. Surrender- Mr Eazi ft Simi

Mr Eazi has with his EmPawa initiative revolutionized the music business and one of the ways in which he did this was by popularising visualizers. 

Mr Eazi’s Surrender is a perfect example of a visualizer as he was depicted dancing with reckless abandon beside a giant waist adorned with waist beads, swaying to the beats of the music. The animated Mr Eazi also threw in some hilarious dance moves that illustrated kicker lines like “I know say I no strong like Mike Tyson I know say I no get the voice like Michael Jackson.”

Surrender was a hit with the Poka Studios animated video, which amassed 11m views, which is double the number of views the official video got. Since then, Mr Eazi has made a killing with animated visualizers like the Chronixx-featured She Loves Me and visuals for recent singles like 'She Loves Me'. 

6. Joeboy by Lonely

Embarking on a binge of Joeboy’s videos will reveal that the Afropop sensation is a fan of animated visualizers and this makes perfect sense given that the star is signed to Mr Eazi’s EmPawa Initiative. 

Also created by Poka Studios, Joeboy has, with his visualisers, not only provided viewers with a colourful video but hilarious ones from Call to Lonely. The visualizer for Call was released at the height of the pandemic, proving to be the smart way out given the restriction on movement and gathering. It was well received and sits at 7.6 million views at the moment. While it's his most viewed animation video, the visualizer for Lonely takes the cake by virtue of its funniness. 

In Lonely, Joeboy’s aloneness is juxtaposed against a bunny with a thriving love life who takes advantage of the singer's space and telephone to woo his bunny lover while Joeboy waits on his love interest. 

Eventually, Joeboy’s wait is rewarded just as the bunny is jilted by his lover for a buff-looking bunny and Joeboy gets to kick the callous rabbit out. The visualizers to Call and Lonely also feature interesting cameos of Joeboy's label boss Mr Eazi who plays random roles from being the driver of the golf cart in Call to being the delivery man of the bunny's carrots in Lonely, serving to give them Marvel level twists.

7. Rora by Reekado Banks

The visualiser for Reekado Banks Rora had been released before the more popular official music video but this did not hinder the video, from getting substantial clicks. 

In fact, to date, a total of 15 million people watched Reekado Banks sing, put the lyrics into action and dance with his animated love interest in the Poka Studios created visualiser for Rora. 

8. In My Maserati by Olakira

Olakira’s In My Maserati blew up with a dance move and a challenge in tow. These had been off the back of his visualiser, which had stitched together hilarious scenes where he drove his lover around first in a shopping cart and then a wheelbarrow before finally, they hopped in an actual Maserati. 

Directed by the self-same Poka Studios behind Mr Eazi and Joeboy's visuals, the visualizer had contributed to giving Olakira his first hit song with In My Maserati. 

9. Greed by Jinmi Abduls featuring Oxlade

In the Oxlade featured song, Greed, Jinmi Abduls vocalizes about his act of infidelity where he cheated on his lover due to greed and is now begging her forgiveness. 

So in the visualiser that Naiky Toonz produced, we get emotion-filled scenes of Jinmi tailing his lover all around town while apologising. And then a scene with Oxlade sees him confessing to a priest who hilariously joins him in apologising to his wronged lover, but to no avail. 

10. Thunder Fire You by Ric Hassani

Right from the audio, Ric Hassani’s Thunder Fire You elicited laughter so it was only right that the video did justice to the song. 

As a result, Ric Hassani made use of a visualiser, with a few scenes depicting his ill-treatment from his lover followed by literal and swift retribution through thunder strikes on her and her friend. 

It gets even funnier when God and the angels weigh in from heaven to express their displeasure and eventually met out punishment on the lover even faster than Ric himself could.

Other animated Nigerian music videos include Olamide's Love No Go Die and Yung L's Wizkid featured Eve Bounce Remix. What other animated music videos do you know of? Add them in the comment section.

The post Simi’s role as the mastermind behind Adekunle Gold's 'Gold' album revealed appeared first on NotjustOk.

Afrobeat singer Adekunle Gold recently promoted his wife Simi's newly released album, LOST AND FOUND, on social media, but a curious fan took the opportunity to ask an impertinent question.

The fan inquired about Adekunle Gold's net worth compared to his wife, Simi. He asked, "Who's richer btw you Simi? I wan know," to which the singer responded with a witty remark, shutting down the inquiry.

However, Adekunle Gold replied, "Are you familiar with Eba?" which is a subtle way of telling the fan to mind their own business. Meanwhile, "Warm eba" is a Nigerian slang that means to focus on one's own affairs. The response triggered hilarious comments from others who praised Adekunle Gold for his well-deserved comeback.

Also, the exchange highlights the couple's commitment to supporting each other's work. Adekunle Gold promoted Simi's album, which features 14 tracks and collaborations with notable artists like Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey.

The couple's lighthearted banter on social media has entertained fans, but also set boundaries on personal and financial matters.

In an episode of The Roadshow on Cool FM, Simi shared that she used to think she would have multiple nannies for her kids, but that's not the case.

Following the backlash from social media users, Simi cleared the air, stating that she doesn't know songs or artists outside of her personal circle.

In a series of posts on X, Simi explained that she doesn't listen to music, including her own, except for a brief period when she's working on a new project. Also, she revealed that she only knows her husband, Adekunle Gold's music because they are married.

Additionally, Simi emphasized that her statement was not a flex but her truth, and she's terrible at keeping up with new music.

Meanwhile, Simi's clarification comes after her recent interview on the Zero Conditions Podcast, where she made the initial statement that sparked controversy. However, she expressed disappointment with media coverage, accusing some outlets of twisting her words to provoke negative reactions.

Also, Simi stressed that she hates doing interviews sometimes because they don't care about supporting her, instead opting to lie or post things out of context to pile on her.

Furthermore, a curious fan asked Simi if she actually said she doesn't listen to music, to which she responded, "I don't listen to anything. I find a voice I like, I binge their project for a month and move on. I don't listen to songs or know any artists that are not in my face. It's not a flex. It's just my truth."

Notwithstanding, Simi's statement has sparked a debate among music lovers. While some defended her right to her personal preferences, others expressed surprise that an artist of her caliber doesn't listen to music.

Despite the controversy, Simi remains unapologetic and firm in her stance, insisting that she's being honest about her habits.
