I am an Indian and I absolutely love Jidenna. Bambi, classic man, boomerang I love 'em all. Jidenna, if ever you read this, let me tell you, that you're awesome and keep making wonderful songs like this one. Lots of love !!!!!
if jidenna isnt self produced, then let me say this. jidenna's producer is just as much a gift to this generation as his producer. the mixing and creativity of the beat is absolutely insane. im in love with it.
providence Beats No one cares, she meant she is proud of African musicians and Jamaica is not the only place that looks like that. "It reminds her of home" not it is my home. fuckarahere
Omg the chocolate goddess in the white shorts dancing on the beach made this video for me! She destroyed those moves! She made me proud to have this beautiful brown melanin tone.
Yo, that guy that danced with his arms backwards made this video for me. I'm proud to be a black man. Because we should be proud in our race because we can dance!
oh my just watching the video after listening to it countless times i must say i got the chills from just watching . He is in love with his Nigerian culture
Let’s not forget he’s light skinned, all African top singers rappers are light,... Chris brown, riri, drake, cardib, etc.... This industry is still racist tho they will never admit it...
Agu Patrick..first he is from Imo state but grew up in Enugu and second, what is "half-cast"?...have heard him say several times he prefers being referred to as mixed not "half-cast".
As a young Black woman, Jidenna's VEVO and music gives me a safe place. I feel beautiful and represented in my truest form when I see his work : Strong, seductive, caring, care-free....authentic. I cannot stress enough how important representation and positive representation of Queens in the media is. This not to say that trap music and the like does not have its place, but the disproportionate representation is clear, and artists like him are stabilising the balance, one video and work at a time. He's one of the few artistes that Id be honoured to appear in one of his videos. He may never read this but, I just want to say on behalf of all the sisters who feel ignored and shut out from Eurocentric, misogynistic media: Thank You. God Bless.
Gabrielle Davida Gay 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪👌👌👊👊 Beautifully Said my Sista! Don't believe the hype from the low voltage, one-dimensional, corporate media. They are soooooo out of touch with reality!
I'm white and very Eurocentric in my tastes, and am a guy, but this is a really beautiful thing to read. I enjoy Jidenna a bunch, and even though I'm sure he can't mean the same thing to me that he does to you I'm happy that you've found an artist that does this for you.
Speaking from Jamaican heritage...THIS GAVE ME LIFE! All the FEELS...Perfect mix of Afro-Carib/World Music! YASSSSSS! Jidenna...you did your Nigerian people proud! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Proud proud to enjoy Afrobeat (Nigerian music) in America. Hope our parents now realize that all Nigerian children should not aim to be doctors, lawyers, scientists etc. We need musicians and the world to embrace our unique style and confidence..love Jidenna!!!!!.
I don't think Jidenna's underrated. I do think he's been working to release an amazing album, i can feel it. He's under Janelle Monae who's a creative genuis so i'm definately he's crafted an beautiful album. 6 songs released thus and its sounding fresh
I love how he keeps his style so classic and how it has a touch of African culture to it, it's beautiful and that's something you don't see much in this generation, thank You
I can't even handle how handsome this guy is. Its an overall swagger, how he presents himself, carries himself, his style all of it. And now that he has showcased his dance moves in this video im a little overwhelmed with his greatness
for real tho. I'm glad he he recognizes his naija roots in this song. although I guess "some kind of way" has afrobeats in it too. his rap songs r so different from this. he is a talented dude hope he blows up
Some of you Americans are so ignorant lol this isn't dancehall so he's not going on "Drakes wave" drake isn't the first person to do dancehall smh. This music is called Afrobeats which has been going on for decades in West Africa..Jidenna is Nigerian so it isn't surprising he's doing music like this.

+AriMichel98 not really because usually lighter girls are stereotypically used and darker girls are twerking props in the background so I don't think the person was being jealous. Shade of skin is not something to be jealous of either
Why can't we all agree that the video is well thought out, the dancing is amazing, the music and beat is addicting, the girl is beautiful and her body slays, and Jidenna is extremely handsome and talented?
I'm here for the Shoki, the pidgin, the Alkayida, the Azonto, the waist whining, the Ankara, the Afro beat sound, Jidenna dipping it low, the black women LMAO let me just stop...
+Tyrone Dickerson Well he IS a rapper so I came to that conclusion. My point still stands. These artists rarely put their own women in the vids. Glad to see some Nigerian beauties.
Jidenna is definitely one of my favorites. I can't get this song out of my head, and that's a good thing. It's been a long time since an artist put out an album is good.
M Byamb it's sad how white skin is considered more beautiful, i mean when was a deficit better??? (une carence en melanine est considere ideal????) Franchement je trouve la peau noir sublime💋💋💋et dans lislam, Adam (le premier homme cree par les mains de Dieu) signifie Noir: pcq la couleur noir detient toutes les autres, de meme que sa feme Hawa signifie foncer.
Anih Constance Same here, I'm Jamaican and we love all kinds of African music. I'm just correcting ppl who think this is dancehall or a rip off of Jamaican music- it's different in it's own right. S'all I'm saying.
I just don't understand , Why we (as Black People) do not support more artist like this. This video has class and style, it represents us as a people in a positive and culturalistic fashion. It shows are woman don't have to dress like a prostitute and still be beautiful...This is a representation of our culture and our music as black people.
@@mishkaosborn5364 Nah, can't blame it on the media at this point. UA-cam's been out for over a decade. MTV, BET and many others have long since been replaced by online streaming. Anyone can choose what they want to listen to at the click of a button. I personally found Jidenna online after searching for more African friendly culture music. Someone in a forum recommended him. It''s time to face the fact that we as Black people in America have created a culture in America that simply doesn't care for classy music.
I love it love it love it!!! He has impeccable taste in women and his *class* isn't a trend or front. My god, yess! So much beauty from the women and the country 🎶🙌😍
Jidenna reminds of some sort of steampunk rapper. My favorite verse from this song is "She was made for my eyes/We escape the times/And I'm need the whole night/And a little bit more" Long Live the Chief
This is afrobeats omg! The drums, the pidgin, the rhythm. The Afro sound has been on for generations (Igbo, Yoruba, Ghana etc) and just because the world is finally getting to hear it doesn't mean it's a new discovery. Omg I'm tired of this! How are you all going to claim a whole continent adapted the Jamaican sound?? If you want to say there are similar rhythms then that's fine because we all share the same ancestors and there's bound to be similarities with our food and with patois and pidgin, but enough with the claiming. African drums and style has been popping from time. If anything the "influence" should be the other way round. Y'all should go bother controlla on UA-cam or somn
Bitter nobody lmao. The influence could never be the other way around because JAMAICANS invented reggae music period. The music you other nations were making before sounded NOTHING LIKE IT. *Learn your history.* Give respect where it is due and shut up your crying. Is this an Afro beats song? Yes sure, with BLATANT Jamaican influence. Hence him wanting to shoot the video there and use Jamaican models, etc. It's a blend. Jidenna is a knowledgeable and prideful man, if it was pure African and specifically Nigerian he would have done this whole video 9ja style but he *DIDN'T*. Dancehall, Reggae, and the Caribbean sound are not new either so fxck out of here with your baseless whining. Drake's watered down stolen goods don't even do the genre justice so take that crap elsewhere. He is the one that the industry shot callers happen to ALLOW to represent the sound to the ignorant. Just as Jidenna may be introducing African sounds to the mainstream U.S audience but he isn't the only one and not the inventor. Not to mention the entire "Afrobeats" genre itself is a *BLEND* of African sounds across nations period. So what are you fighting for? What are you trying to own? Be still. Jealousy is oh so very ugly & transparent.
+Nelle Nelle lmao do u even hear urself.... where do ur ancestors come from? Africa...before the internet yall didnt know how we sounded so yall though u "invented" this whole type of music so anyone that has similar borrowed from Jamaica (haha)....boy pls..KNOW UR HISTORY even patios has roots from west Africa....learn ur own fucking history (oops) i forgot u barely know anything bout ur ancestors and u only depend on the lies white ppl tell...yup thats y yall thought we lived on trees...pls we African have diverse sort of sounds from east to west to south so afrobeat is self doesnt have one sound....yall got ur shit from us cos ur ancestors passed down the sounds and yall recreated it thats y it sounds similar...we borrow from each other but that doesnt mean u guys should claim everything...u dont see Africans going to "work" or controlla and saying afrobeat shit ...Jidenna is obviously Nigeria and u can clearly here the background voice which sounds like a yoruba incantation (bet u dont even know what that is), the ankara material he wore and the dances shoki alkayida azonto clearly west African and he spoke pigin in the song (wait or will u say he was speaking patios) yes Jamaicans are lit but pls not every sound like this is urs or copied from yall... by ur word "give respect where its due"...and u said y didnt he do it in Nigeria let me tell u even Nigerian artists dont shot their videos in Nigeria they go to south Africa or london or some shit to do their videos so what makes u think Jidenna that has been in America for a while will travel back for it when he has said he is scared or kidnappers in Nigeria......looolll u said Jealousy :\ haha PLEASE AFRICANS everywhere in the world have nothing to be jealous about...like duhhh we have the richest most diverse, original cultures and languages in the world that everyone wants to steal from...thats y some of yall be wearing our cloths yet talking shit bout us... pls go dance to "bruk it down" or "work" or "murder she wrote" or "lucy"...or u probably also think Africans learnt how to whine from Jamaica...haha even my great grandma was a twerker when she was young and she had no television in her time so PLS have several seats ur ancestors were from West Africa.
+Nelle Nelle Jidenna is introducing afrobeat to America yes America cos Europeans have been feeling it for a long time....so u r trying to claim this is Jamaican cos ur darling Drake dont give yall credit enough and he keep on stealing ur vibe and yall can go in on him.....pls Jidenna loves his culture he has said it before he is a proud Nigerian man go watch his interviews on African parents and if he is representing anything he would represent Nigeria not go all the way to copy other artists and go for the Jamaican vibe his Igbo brain is way to loyal for that....hahaha oops yall didnt invent shit i just reminded u ur ancestors were stolen from Africa...so the sounds just evolved...sad much...go consult the oracles of ur ancestors and ask them of ur real history....

I met this song and the singer when he performed at the VMAs 2016 !! Sensational music!!
Come to BRAAAAASIL 💘
Yas, a rap video with actual black women. Its a miracle. Good job, jidenna.
actual black women?
you think this is rap music?
+Tyrone Dickerson Well how would you describe it? Pop music?
Idk what this is but it's not rap. It's reggae pop music. Definitely not rap music. Maybe it's hip hop but that is an extreme stretch
+Tyrone Dickerson Well he IS a rapper so I came to that conclusion. My point still stands. These artists rarely put their own women in the vids. Glad to see some Nigerian beauties.
Those girls dancing on the beach...beautiful African dances. Looks like some of the dances from the Skelewu days.
This the shoki and alkayida days now
I've been waiting for him to come back and he did not disappoint! 👣
Ayyyy
he never left ur just a radio listener and not a true fan
+Beastybeasts 😂
+Beastybeasts True
ikr im in love with this song
Used to hear in 2018,
Lost and found it in 2020

Jidenna is definitely one of my favorites. I can't get this song out of my head, and that's a good thing. It's been a long time since an artist put out an album is good.
comes to jamaica and uses a jamaican girl. GOOD JOB JIDENNA!!! amita is gorg in this music video
Shineel Gordon lol
I'm from Morocco n' I'm so FCKN proud to be African ! Show them a lil bit more KING.
Yasser Khalis pfffff t’es le 1er à l’avouer, vous vous croyez tous arabe pas africain d’habitude 😂😂😂😂
M Byamb it's sad how white skin is considered more beautiful, i mean when was a deficit better??? (une carence en melanine est considere ideal????) Franchement je trouve la peau noir sublime💋💋💋et dans lislam, Adam (le premier homme cree par les mains de Dieu) signifie Noir: pcq la couleur noir detient toutes les autres, de meme que sa feme Hawa signifie foncer.
M Byamb oui cest vrai, consulte un dictionnaire arabe: adam=noir
Yasser Khalis 💯
Yall cant call yourself african
I need your like in 2019 if the song is still lit🔥🔥🔥

God bless my beautiful country! Jamaica 😊🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Yes, it's afrobeat but THE VIDEO WAS SHOT IN JAMAICA - not Nigeria.
+A Jackson I'm Nigerian and we love the Jamaicans too and Jamaica is a beautiful place. Don't know why y'all arguing
Anih Constance Same here, I'm Jamaican and we love all kinds of African music. I'm just correcting ppl who think this is dancehall or a rip off of Jamaican music- it's different in it's own right. S'all I'm saying.
I just don't understand , Why we (as Black People) do not support more artist like this. This video has class and style, it represents us as a people in a positive and culturalistic fashion. It shows are woman don't have to dress like a prostitute and still be beautiful...This is a representation of our culture and our music as black people.
Alrick it baffles me they would rather listen to songs by garbage future and young thug rather than this. The world needs more artists like jidenna!!
Because the media pushes garbage that brainwashes our youth to think about sex, money and drugs constantly. Hence generation Z.
@@mishkaosborn5364 Nah, can't blame it on the media at this point. UA-cam's been out for over a decade. MTV, BET and many others have long since been replaced by online streaming. Anyone can choose what they want to listen to at the click of a button. I personally found Jidenna online after searching for more African friendly culture music. Someone in a forum recommended him.
It''s time to face the fact that we as Black people in America have created a culture in America that simply doesn't care for classy music.
@@gracialonignasiver6302 yeah but the government is really responsible in this. can you imagine them saying hip hop music does good for kids? never
It's a blessing to see Afro American rappers sing with that types of afro beats 😁😀
Nice moves tho 😉
He's African
+Brunelle Brown we fucking know Christ !
+Taehyung's trash /NCT's Trash What are you like 12?
+iAaronHD stfu
yes true
Jidenna should make a comeback he’d be bigger than ever before
dropped the like before i even saw it 🔥
same here
I love it love it love it!!! He has impeccable taste in women and his *class* isn't a trend or front. My god, yess! So much beauty from the women and the country 🎶🙌😍
I can rant in happiness over this! Big up yourself Jidenna 💚 You made my country look so beautiful. Come back to JA anytime
I wasn't ready 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌩🌩🌩🌩🌩🌩
same
He appreciates natural black women in his music videos ❤️🔥
Jidenna reminds of some sort of steampunk rapper. My favorite verse from this song is "She was made for my eyes/We escape the times/And I'm need the whole night/And a little bit more" Long Live the Chief
This is afrobeats omg! The drums, the pidgin, the rhythm. The Afro sound has been on for generations (Igbo, Yoruba, Ghana etc) and just because the world is finally getting to hear it doesn't mean it's a new discovery. Omg I'm tired of this! How are you all going to claim a whole continent adapted the Jamaican sound?? If you want to say there are similar rhythms then that's fine because we all share the same ancestors and there's bound to be similarities with our food and with patois and pidgin, but enough with the claiming. African drums and style has been popping from time. If anything the "influence" should be the other way round. Y'all should go bother controlla on UA-cam or somn
Triggered
get out of that box
Bitter nobody lmao. The influence could never be the other way around because JAMAICANS invented reggae music period. The music you other nations were making before sounded NOTHING LIKE IT. *Learn your history.* Give respect where it is due and shut up your crying.
Is this an Afro beats song? Yes sure, with BLATANT Jamaican influence. Hence him wanting to shoot the video there and use Jamaican models, etc. It's a blend. Jidenna is a knowledgeable and prideful man, if it was pure African and specifically Nigerian he would have done this whole video 9ja style but he *DIDN'T*. Dancehall, Reggae, and the Caribbean sound are not new either so fxck out of here with your baseless whining. Drake's watered down stolen goods don't even do the genre justice so take that crap elsewhere. He is the one that the industry shot callers happen to ALLOW to represent the sound to the ignorant. Just as Jidenna may be introducing African sounds to the mainstream U.S audience but he isn't the only one and not the inventor. Not to mention the entire "Afrobeats" genre itself is a *BLEND* of African sounds across nations period. So what are you fighting for? What are you trying to own? Be still. Jealousy is oh so very ugly & transparent.
+Nelle Nelle lmao do u even hear urself.... where do ur ancestors come from? Africa...before the internet yall didnt know how we sounded so yall though u "invented" this whole type of music so anyone that has similar borrowed from Jamaica (haha)....boy pls..KNOW UR HISTORY even patios has roots from west Africa....learn ur own fucking history (oops) i forgot u barely know anything bout ur ancestors and u only depend on the lies white ppl tell...yup thats y yall thought we lived on trees...pls we African have diverse sort of sounds from east to west to south so afrobeat is self doesnt have one sound....yall got ur shit from us cos ur ancestors passed down the sounds and yall recreated it thats y it sounds similar...we borrow from each other but that doesnt mean u guys should claim everything...u dont see Africans going to "work" or controlla and saying afrobeat shit ...Jidenna is obviously Nigeria and u can clearly here the background voice which sounds like a yoruba incantation (bet u dont even know what that is), the ankara material he wore and the dances shoki alkayida azonto clearly west African and he spoke pigin in the song (wait or will u say he was speaking patios) yes Jamaicans are lit but pls not every sound like this is urs or copied from yall... by ur word "give respect where its due"...and u said y didnt he do it in Nigeria let me tell u even Nigerian artists dont shot their videos in Nigeria they go to south Africa or london or some shit to do their videos so what makes u think Jidenna that has been in America for a while will travel back for it when he has said he is scared or kidnappers in Nigeria......looolll u said Jealousy :\ haha PLEASE AFRICANS everywhere in the world have nothing to be jealous about...like duhhh we have the richest most diverse, original cultures and languages in the world that everyone wants to steal from...thats y some of yall be wearing our cloths yet talking shit bout us... pls go dance to "bruk it down" or "work" or "murder she wrote" or "lucy"...or u probably also think Africans learnt how to whine from Jamaica...haha even my great grandma was a twerker when she was young and she had no television in her time so PLS have several seats ur ancestors were from West Africa.
+Nelle Nelle Jidenna is introducing afrobeat to America yes America cos Europeans have been feeling it for a long time....so u r trying to claim this is Jamaican cos ur darling Drake dont give yall credit enough and he keep on stealing ur vibe and yall can go in on him.....pls Jidenna loves his culture he has said it before he is a proud Nigerian man go watch his interviews on African parents and if he is representing anything he would represent Nigeria not go all the way to copy other artists and go for the Jamaican vibe his Igbo brain is way to loyal for that....hahaha oops yall didnt invent shit i just reminded u ur ancestors were stolen from Africa...so the sounds just evolved...sad much...go consult the oracles of ur ancestors and ask them of ur real history....
