The diversity of the African diaspora never ceases to amaze me.
For those curious, the language at the beginning of the video is the Lucumí language, which developed primarily in Cuba and other parts of the Caribbean from the West African Yoruba language of Yoruba descendants taken there. It has other linguistic influences like Spanish, but also Bantu (Congo) remnants from Central African peoples the Yoruba people came into contact with.
Many of these tribes were enemies in Africa (and in Cuba these included the following peoples: Yoruba, Congo, Takua, Kissi, Calabari/Kalabari, Dahomey/Arará, and Mandinka) but in Cuba they had to unite to collectively survive slavery, so of course it was common for their influences to overlap. That is why the Lucumí language is not purely Yoruba (and it has since become primarily a liturgical language).
Thank you for enlightening us!!! ♡
That's actually super interesting, thank you for sharing!
Of course! :)
I like that she used yoruba
busiest movie nerd It’s called an “orin orisa,” or orisha (praise) song to Yemòjá. If you scroll down a bit farther in the comments I posted a translation.
The range of her musical aesthetic has me genuinely shook. I'm quite obsessed.
"I'm that Blackarican bruja straight up from the Yoruba
And my people come from Africa; diaspora Cuba
And you mix that Arawak, that original people;
I'm that Black Native American.
I vanquish all evil.
I'm that Blackarican bruja straight up from the Yoruba
And my ancestors Nigerian; my grandmas was brujas
And I come from an island
And it's called Puerto Rico
It's one of the smallest but it got the most people."
OMFG THIS SONG JUST GAVE ME LIFE!
As a black witch, this video is everything ❤️ we need more representation ✨
Maferefun olodumare 💙
Yes!!!
I second this
I bet you are white
I feel you 🌗, erika buda is a great artist and express her witch side in her art too.
This would be a lit Netflix series lol
for real tho😂
hell yeah!
yasss
that would be awesome
I think there's one coming about a bruja in modern day
Its weird that some Black Women in the comments find the Video and concept of the video so "disturbing and scary" when this is OUR history, there is an essence of accepting Western and Eastern faiths but an actual faith and spiritual culture curated and practised by your ancestors is the thing you find foreign and unacceptable and hard to watch? Its not for everyone but dont let Westernized standards of Spirituality, religion, faith, "Witches" and African Arts allow you to disrespect/discredit a staple and forgotten beautiful part of Black female Power, magic, love, spirituality and history....What she (Princess Nokia) has brought to mainstream and what she is doing with this video is actually trying to show black women where we come from, and if we already knew, she is celebrating it, and removing the stigma of Black Females who are magical and divine and heavily spirited( we are not demonic, you can have positive witches, you can be very energetically sensitive and not be "evil)...You can't hashtag #blackgirlmagic then disrepect actual Black girls who are Magic, in every way. ~Know yourself. This video and the culture she is refrencing is heavy, it aint for everyone, everyone won't get it, but if you do, it is very resonating and powerful.
YenPanda 92 What you’re saying is so beautiful. I’m Wiccan and my faith is a little different but I have so much respect for the deep history and power of the Yoruban witches. We are all from the Mother but most have lost that connection and it’s sad that people have grown to fear it. Brightest blessings 🙏🏻
YenPanda 92 so true❤
Yup. It's the Church did that shit. Keeps everyone so blind we can't see our Roots anymore. I dug into Wicca when I was a teenager because it was the main religion I could see that was Legitimately about celebrating the Love between People, Earth and God, but everyone around me treated it like I was getting into Cannibalism.
I'm like y'all this is your Heritage, where all of the Fairy Tales and Folk Wisdom comes from that have been treasured in the West for centuries...How can y'all be Scared of it? (white, btw)
The Church has packed peoples heads so full of bullshit and hearts so full of chaos that we, None Of Us, can see Our Own Roots.
(growing up in a devout Christian household leaves the same psychological Trauma-Markers (scars) as people get from growing up in an abusive household)
But all we can do is keep on Loving strong and loving the Truth, and they'll catch on when their spirit's are ready...
Of course, the more artists pushing shit out there like THIS track and THIS artist, the quicker their Spirit's are gonna be ready to get into The Flow
Blow Princess Nokia up in Every forum. Revolution requires its Bards!
White girl here. The faith Princess Nokia shows feels very fascinating and real to me ... I'd like to do more research on it but am unsure if it's appropiate to do so as a white person. What's your opinion on that?
Luna Sanguine research it all you want! Learning about other cultures isn't cultural appropriation. :)
the history and cultural pride in this video are AMAZING. I LOVE this video because it reclaims culture and owns it, expressing the vibrance of one culture in the language of another.
It is amazing as a Brazilian and being part of Candomblé culture to see our ancestrality and Yoruba culture being expressed in slightly different ways throughout America
This isn’t just art this is the essence of the Caribbean of Afro Caribbean households nothing but respect for our ancestors
If this calls to you... you are chosen. That’s why you’re just finding it now
The snakes resonated with me too and I LOVED the craft as a young girl.
Re finding after two years. Lol I literally went the same path of old songs and new and led me back to this song. I felt like I was back home.
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord ; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12
Asé 🙏🏾
Do i have to be black for this to resonate?
For those saying "she's not even black" or "she hasn't been initiated"...
Nigerian people were captured and taken to Cuba to be slaves. Their culture lived on and many of them migrated back to Nigeria in present day YORUBA. The people are of African and Cuban decent. Afro-Cuban or Afro-Latina/o.
Her blood is her initiation.
absolutely!
She’s Puerto Rican not Cuban.....
@@Coconuticedcoffee right. And the captors said "keep the slaves on this island, just THIS island, not the 2 within view of the coastline. Just this one."
It's just an overview/ general idea of what happened. Not the FULL story.. I got straight to the point.
@olive juice oh ok I never knew. Wonder how much history we still don’t know.
Calling all brujas! You are stronger than you think.
@Smiles and the Twisted MD what
Yasssss sister SHOUT IT LOUDER!!!!
Dont you fuck with my energy Dont you fuck with my energy Dont you fuck with my energy Dont you fuck with my energy Dont you fuck with my energy Dont you fuck with my energy Dont you fuck with my energy
Stay strong 💞
The intro in Yoruba:
"Kaikaikai yemaya olodo.
Kaikaikai assesu o lodo (x2)
La di oke, la di oke (x3)
Yemaya o lodo aua lodo mio" (x4)
Translation:
"Take a look at it Yemaya.
Take care of them.
Get up, get up.
Yemaya you are not far from me"
Edit: Yemaya or Yemaja one of the Orishas (Afrikan Powers/deities).
Yemaya is the Goddess of the Ocean and creation. There are many Yemaya chants, several other languages. There's another similar one and it basically means "Yemaya you are the gush of the ocean and the gush of spring", but that one specifically is not YORUBA. I wanted to pay homage to Princess Nokia's roots by translating from HER ancestral language.
Thank u cuz I've been singing it without knowing what it means thank u so much
@@coconut7745 You're very welcome. 😊😊😊
Thank youuu. I love the intro. I'll start the video over multiple times just to hear it. 💕
💙💙💙🔥💙💙💙
Olive Juice thank’s :D
a puertorican ligntskin girl that acknowledges shes black ...woooooooooow im so happy for some reason
I am HERE for the reclamation of our African traditional and diasporic beliefs and practices! We are waking up and taking our ancestral power BACK!
Asé! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Ibeya- River. In case you want to hear the original of this song. South African twins to sing the song of their father
Yes and I am loving it!
I was literally just giving thanks and offerings to Yemaya today, as Saturday is her day. I click on this later and sure enough there is her hymn being sung in the beginning! Yemaya most nurturing caring Mother, I thank you!! Many blessings to all my fellow brujas 🌛🌝🌜
Same! Blessings💙
Now I understand totally understand why I was doing the dance just singing to her yes were free to come out blessings finally
Yes for seeing beautiful dark-skinned Black women practicing ancient African religion.
Listen, there are too many comments comparing her to other females rappers. Stop comparing women. Period. We need to lift each other up without bringing anyone else down.
what a dumb comment. its not about comparing women. its about comparing people
MadKidGoodCity is it though
MadKidGoodCity Exactly. We’ve been saying that witch rap is better than rap in general.
i'm a yoruba teenage girl and i really appreciate the shoutout this song gives to yoruba culture!! god knows i can't stop vibing to this tune and i thought the yoruba folk song at the beginning was beautiful. it reminds me of whenever my dad puts on a yoruba folk vinyl or whenever we listen to yoruba music in the car.
edit: before anyone comes for me, i'm not claiming yoruba for bants. my entire family barring one half cousin (who is mixed with Polish) is 100% monoethnic Yoruba Nigerian. i don't speak yoruba fluently, but my parents do and i can understand every word they say
You have listened IBEYI ? They are good too.
Be careful hun i had to stop this video because she was speaking of some things. I don't want to scare you but be wise. Look up the lyrics of what she is speaking about.
MissBuggable nothing about the lyrics were bad. If you researched it you would know it
I miss this era
Me too
This song is dope. Brujas are not necessarily a bad thing people. Haters educate yourselves.
I’m Cuban Mexican and Trinidad and this video shows an element from all my cultures it just makes me feel beautiful
I'm Trini and Jamaica and have a kid who is Mexican. Big up.
💕💕💕
I came here from reading an article about how black african women are leaving Christianity and turning to their ancestors traditions with magick. And I agree. I'd rather follow my own belief and having that feeling like I finally belong than being forced to take part in a religion that my mother, my grandmother, and my other relatives think is the right way. My soul is my own I don't need someone to tell me what path or what direction I should go for salvation for my soul.
Lleylanna Stewart Iol I came from the same article
@Ezra j thank you. My mom doesn't understand. With her if a religion is serving any gods that is not part of the Christian religion its a no no. But she doesn't realize that some Christians are still serving the god of their faith and are also adding a goddess with it. So they're calling themselves Christian Wiccans, but it will be a huge debate and argument on what religion I rather take part of that'll make me feel wanted. There's just too many rules and expectations for Christianity that I don't want a part of.
Lleylanna Stewart its all bullshit never follow any human being on this planet idc if they can fly follow no one especially ina book 😂 thats like me tellin u to walk around wit a bowtie so u can one day meet Dr.Seuss and u believe it
Lleylanna Stewart it would be Christian witches as that is a Craft and not a faith. Wicca is a separate religion so that would be like calling themselves a Jewish Hindi or Christian Muslim. I’m Wiccan and I don’t understand Christian witchcraft ( but I support their right to practice ) as their God does not condone any witches...besides himself of course...
To the people dissing her. The movie The Craft is cool but these spiritual practices are incredibly diverse in real life. There are green witches, hedge witches, psychic witches, Wiccans, some of us work with deities from the Hellenic or Nordic Pantheon, there is African witchcraft, Hoodoo, Voodoo, shamanism, some witches see and work with the Fae, some of us are into cartomancy (tarot and oracle cards), some read coffee grounds, etc etc etc There's also INCREDIBLY evil shit that messes with people's heads and souls. These sort of attacks are a bitch. Hence, hexes, uncrossings, return to sender, psychic defense, energy cleansing, etc. So, DON'T YOU FUCK WITH MY ENERGY. LOL
In traditional Mexican culture, a CURANDERA and a BRUJA are dissimilar in that the bruja is seen as using spells or magic to harm others, while a CURANDERA uses her powers and knowledge to heal. So theyre basically admitting to being evil. They just assume that most ppl would confuse what they're doing as "GOOD", when in fact they're talking about harming someone else w/ their magic.
@@TrulyRude wait really?
facts
I am a child of light but yep dont fuck with my energy she presented it right the ones that are woke got her message the ones that are not still confused lol
@@naturallyafroqueenbey7438 Are you a Christian?
I've never heard anything like this before, she is a powerhouse. I actually *FEEL* the spirituality and magic of her ancestors in this song 😍
As a Puerto Rican this speaks to me in a lot of different ways like our culture, our african roots, Arawak Taíno, Yoruba etc. Orgullosa de ser boricua y llevar sangre Africana, Taína y Española. 💕🌺🌴
I always found it weird how Puerto Ricans embrace their connections with Africa and just a few hours away the Dominicans (the more brown of the two islands) try to deny it. They be looking like Tyrese talking about, I'm Taino and Spanish! - lol
Kihyuntastic af 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
because we actively practice Santeria and voodoo and it keeps us close to our ancestors...DR ignores its magical African roots and pins it on Haitians as devils work...just an easy way to demonize African history, to keep racism alive
Being Haitian and seeing this soft, light-filled, woman-centered version of voodoo means a lot to me and feels like home. This ain't no wicca, "magick" shit, this is a real interpretation of Yoruba spirituality. Love this, thank you Princess Nokia
Mia Shabazz I'm Ghanaian and I wish I could know more about Akan traditional religion before Europeans came cause Christian Ghanaians just think it's all devil worship but that's false.
Mia Shabazz can u explain this yoruba spiritually ?
@@akosua8779 That is how they did Haiti too...protestants got everyone thinking Vodoun/Loa is devil worship! smh...France had its strong hold on Ayiti and Ghana....look up Asantes!
It's orisha, but there's definitely a lot of similarities in the religions, (mainly the whole unreachable main deity with near endless bounds of "lesser" entities to represent them) Haitian Vodou also has quite a few elements taken directly from orisha and yurubu
Why you shit in wicca it's a whole different religion that is earth base and European. Wanna shit on people, let me introduce to christianism that spend centuries demonising /killing anything that is not an abrahamic religion. Wiccan are peaceful, let them be.
As a bruja from Puerto Rico, I love finally having representation
Solidarity of the land, whether brujeria, voudoun, wicca, seiðr, whatever your practice, embrace the land, embrace the spirits, embrace one another against the blight eating this world and these long lingering chains. Shake and shatter them with the force of women's thunder
All Gods No Masters so mote it be 🌒🌕🌘
I grew up catholic in my very old style Hispanic house hold and just the word “Brujería” gave me chills just like others I was taught they praised the devil And as I learn more about Wicca and history of “the craft” , this song just hit differently
Girrrlllll yesss same here i did the whole Sunday school and all the works
And never sat right with me even as a kid looking around to the words my friends would read out loud but did it for my mother out of respect I don't disrespect it but just love to learn other religions spiritual practices and such. This song is amazing
I’m still trying to learn more about how to fully and properly practice the craft and spiritualism that my African and Native American ancestors did, this song is more than encouraging 💫💫💫🌻🌻🌻🌻
Lexi Thompson I love that for you
Same here Sistar!
Big facts!👌👌
For 3 years i have listened to mainly the chant in the beginning. Singing it as if i knew what the words meant but i didn't. And i still dont. But today this song hit different. After doing some research on some African culture. i finally recognized the name yemya. In the chant. And listened thru the song again. And i just want to say that i accept yemya into my life. The mother of us and the sea. It all is starting to make sense. When ever i asked for the sweet voice to show its self. This song always came into my head.
thats dope
Me too I wish you would come out with someone music on this vibration
Power 💞
I want to learn about the older religions and culture from africa. Where should I start.
@@marinashumi6668 hometeam history, blaque witch yaya and yeyeo botanica are some of my favorite channels on UA-cam to learn about african culture and about the orshias. Id start there and then branch off into looking up things that they talk about/what intrests you
*Bad energy has left the chat*
FINALLY AN ARTIST THAT USES TRAP BEATS FOR THE GREATER GOOD 🙏 🙏 🙏
wearemadeoftar what you talking bout sis? No one even knew about her practicing witchcraft till a couple weeks ago.
IVE NEVER FELT MORE REPRESENTED IN MAH LIFE
"Don't you f*ck with my energy"= LOVE this. Some of us need a more direct boundary line around our vibes!
I was just thinking that!😀💜
I need more music that celebrates indigenous beliefs and practices but over trap beats:)
T Sonja yessssss!!!
Tribe Called Red
These are traditionally African beliefs, not necessarily indigenous
Factsssss
It's Crunk(southern Hip Hop which was popular long time b4 than shitty mumble rap)
This is literal BLACK GIRL MAGIC.
Candygirl9890 She is Spanish
AwilDoinIt she's Afro Latina
AwilDoinIt She's afro-latina. Did you even watch the video? Throughout the entire video she's talking about how proud she is to be black. Pay attention.
Candygirl9890 BLACK GIRL MAGIC IS THE BEST DESCRIPTION FOR THIS OMG
She's Puerto Rican and black. She says it in the song
Chins up, Brujas. We're in this. It's a spiritual revolution, and it starts with you.
Omg they were roomates
see yaa 🧘🏽♀️🧚♀️🤍✨
Favorite part!❤️
"I'm that Black a-Rican bruja straight out from the Yoruba
And my people come from Africa diaspora, Cuba
And you mix that Arawak, that original people
I'm that Black Native American, I vanquish all evil
I'm that Black a-Rican bruja straight out from the Yoruba
And my ancestors Nigerian, my grandmas was brujas
And I come from an island and it's called Puerto Rico
And it's one of the smallest but it got the most people"
HATERS ARE DEEP IN THESE COMMENTS. IM GETTING SAGE FOR YALL. CAST THOSE DEMONS AWAY BOO. I LOVE THIS SONG.
Can someone tell me how this girl can be so diverse in their energies of clothing and aesthetic PLEASE TEACH ME PRINCESS...
Her blood runs deep, this was too spiritual 🙌🙏.
I’ve been looking for friends like this since I was 13 years old. Where arrreee yaaalllll???? Lol
You’ll find em when its time

"And if you hex me with hate then I'ma conjure the light
Your evil ways put no fight, I ain't no queen of the night"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi Ariana stans. This isn’t the song she’s accused of stealing, it’s called MINE. But while you’re here listen to this banger song. stan an underrated female rapper!!!
They’d rather bash someone who even dares to call out their fav. Typical stan behavior.
I'm Nigerian (Igbo tribe) and grew up with mostly Yoruba people. I loved this. Especially the Yoruba and the Mami Wata tribute (Yemaya) in the beginning. I may not practice orisha worship but I have respect for my pre-colonial culture. I love how black Caribbeans and South Americans were able to hold onto their West African roots for so long. If only Black Americans could've done the same, but slavery seemed to have a harsher effect on blacks in the US.
soso694 can you tell me what she's chanting in the beginning I can sing the chant it's quite catchy 😊
barackhashemyahweh
From my limited understanding of Yoruba this is what I made out. They seem to be speaking a South American dialect of Yoruba so it may not be accurate :
Kai Kai Kai Yemaya olodo,
Kai Kai Kai asesu olodo
Kai= expression of wonderment, Yemaya olodo =Yemaya of the ocean. (Yemaya is the goddess of the sea).
Asesu olodo = I can't make out the word "asesu" , but the phrase could just mean goddess of the ocean.
Lati oke = from up above
Yemaya olodo awa olodo mi oh = Yemaya of the ocean, we are of the ocean.
I'm Igbo, so if there's any full blown native Yoruba speakers reading this that want to correct me, feel free to. 🇳🇬
I agree with you, well said.
Diasporan blacks in Latin Anerica/ the Caribbean were able to hold on due to the nature of slavery there vs the US.
In the US, enslaved black people at their peak made up a third of the population, while in the Caribbean they were more like 80/90% of the inhabitants. American slaves also tended to be in smaller numbers as a group; plantation owners rarely had more than 200 slaves, most only had 20-30. In the Caribbean, it wasn't uncommon for plantations to have 1000+ enslaved people working there. Finally (and this is the biggest difference maker), transatlantic slave trade to the US had dramatically slowed down by the time the Revolutionary war was over; slavery was self sufficient here, people were bred to people to create more slaves rather than importing them. By the time slaves were freed in 1865, no one who was freed came here directly from Africa, they were all several generations removed.
In the Caribbean, on the other hand, due to the brutal nature of slavery there, death rates were high and the transatlantic slave trade continued to fuel slavery there. In Brazil, the last slave ship arrived in 1866, and slavery wasn't abolished there until 1888.
African culture, namely Yoruba culture, is so heavily influential in these regions because towards the end of slavery in Latin America, they were the group most heavily stolen from and affected. Other groups, like the Igbo, Kongo, Mende were the groups primarily bought to the US and enslaved, and had been in the US 100 years before Yorubas in large numbers hit the Caribbean.
I hope what I'm saying makes sense. I just don't want people thinking that US blacks are some sellout group, when it's a fact that African culture just could not flourish in the US version of chattel slavery like it could south of here.
TL;DR African culture survived in the Caribbean because its way more recent history for them than it is in the US.
your right its really rare for african americans like my self to pratice any "witch craft" maybe because our ancestors forgot or maybe cause they were hopeless and brainwashed its sad but real one day we will be intuned with our roots one day
I'm whiter than Wonderbread but this song makes me think of my grandma's small village and all the practices and superstitions of our ancestors. Lots of interesting stories from there.
This song and video are seriously underrated!
Namaste
This is a powerful way of reclaiming and uplifting traditional forms of feminine power and community. Mixing it into contemporary culture and making it relevant in today’s patriarchal world is so important. Thanks for creating this✨
💯💯 agreed
she changed too much in I like him, I think she will not do any song like this anymore.. just generic stuff, it's sad how money corrupt artists
PREACH SIS, PREACH
Baby girl on a whole other frequency! So young and knows exactly who she is Asè
Not *that* young. But she's cool.
ashley young right 👌🏽
Turn up my African practitioners
Dont get this song twisted its about, respecting youre roots, and The culture and being proud of it.
i refuse to believe that princess nokia is one person
Yes
She’s a Gemini
I feel like I got four people inside of me
This song is fire, water, air, earth, Spirit, sun, moon and stars. Love the video, seeing black and brown women embrace their beauty and cast their magic.
Asé!!!
She's going to go big, I can feel it. Not only is her 1992 Deluxe is one amazing album, she stands out from the crowd. Call her a weirdo or whatever you like but do you know any one quite like her? I don't think so. Princess Nokia is Princess Nokia from head to toe, something that's quite rare in the industry nowadays.
I keep coming back to this song, it's just so fascinating to me as a Yoruba person to see how the traditions of the Yoruba (and other tribes) managed to survive across the transatlantic. Its beautiful to think that despite the horror and tragedy that slavery was, it failed to erase that connection to Africa.
Yes Mama!
That African Spiritual energy. Love this!
Absolutely hola mama
She embraces her heritage in such a way that is so beautiful and well presented. She stay representing 💕💯👏🏽 hit me w that brown girl power
The only thing she does is degrade her beautiful heritage. Research Yoruba culture and music - you'll find out what an insult it is that this moron is associating herself with it.
De acuerdo :( Hasta pone triste a uno :( It makes me think, how is it that this beautiful culture survived the middle passage and many generations of slavery yet in one or two generations amid the foulness of the United States, we end up with this offensive and ignorant mess. I guess she is just reflecting what is around her. But, que tristeza...
Yoruba culture actually developed in very interesting ways in Latin America - Brasil and Cuba particularly. In some parts of the US you can find some elements of Yoruba culture - particularly in IFA and Orisha worship. What we have here is not a continuation of that - it's an insult - simply trash associating itself with something deep, spiritual and beautiful. I agree completely - it's in just a couple of generations that this idiocy has taken over - que tristeza indeed.
I love this video this Queen is paying respect to the Orishas Yemaya,Oshun and the ancestors Ase' Princess Nokia my New favorite song video with beautiful Brujas we need more music like this
Dis song tough ! Love black women who stay true to their African origins. Witchcraft and dark power is not something evil. Western society made it look that way.
djholidaytv414 Witchcraft and dark power not evil? Explain
+Tyrell Lopez not evil at all. Witchcraft and dark power was use for Africans to communicate with our ancestors. It help overcome all encounters of evilness. Help Africans to protect their divine energy. You could protect a nation with witch craft and dark power for a long time. Western society did not understand it at all. The chants, dance and praises. Even with Greece. They stole our masonry, switch it around and claim it was devil business.
djholidaytv414 it is not witch craft it is African spirituality, there are witches in Africa and they hate witches oshun does not call herself a witch
Attallah Joana Gotchuu mommy bless
Exactly!
If they made an all-black reboot of The Craft this would be its theme song
It's funny how our ancestors beliefs are called satanic by the people who follow their ancestors beliefs which murdered and enslaved all through out time hahahahaha wtf is going on in life!!!
It's not about who's ancestors did what. The elohim that defied the one true Most High answer to satan and that's who your ancestors worship. That's why
Hizenberg Slim demonization of beliefs is colonialism 101.
Agree!
@@hizenbergslim3841 ok
@@hizenbergslim3841 go off, but um, what's that you said about the dude being gay? There's no evidence or myth or anything of any kind to come up with that claim so I'm worried you're using gay as an insult there. Literally 3 seconds later you diss the person for hating on anything different than themselves but you used homosexual as a negative attribute, which is a little hypocritical, don't you think? Again, go off, you made good points but like... (Let me know if I'm misreading anything)
She made me a fan at "don't you fuck with my energy!"
dass it...she said, "speakin' in tongue bitches...fo on the flo bitches..." sistahhhzzzzz
Don't fuck with my energy. My mood before I clock in at work.
PREEEEACH 🤗
This is straight healing energy. This song has brought me so many new things. Laughing at all the comments claiming it to be evil, I am a Healer and so is she, this is healing music. If you don't like it you should let go of your past and feel, be present in the moment. That is God not evil
This is way too advanced for 7 years ago
and yet 7 years ago there was so much good music out there
yaaasss girlll tell em bout our ancestors 🙌👏👏👏
Naomi Pattavina YESSS!😌🙌🏾
I'm native and black and I never had a connection to my African herritage as my mom had left me and I kinda found my identity with this music 💞 keep doing what y'all doin and making beautiful music
elisia dollanganger ❤️
I love this song cause it's being truthful about our culture an I love how she payed homage to the orisha by dressing as yemanja and oshun
I LOVE THIS! I love the Afro-Latina pride, I love the beat, I love the Orisha imagery and African spirituality, I love the video. Seriously, this goes so hard.
This speaks to me. I grew up in the tangles of Mexican culture and being exposed to traditional remedies that ppl would call witchcraft.. like trying to insult my roots. I am just now becoming comfortable with myself and what i come from so I FEEL THIS
Daisy Soto girl I feel you
🙌🏽🙏🏾
Daisy Soto What does the words say at the vegging
begging
Bruh, never heard of this woman before, until I this song played in a cafe was in - i had to whip out my phone and Shazam this banger! this video made me so proud to be of African descent - a woman of African descent - African-Caribbean Pride!!!
Love the fact that her music hit the same no matter what year we in.
Nokia is an amazing authentic artist.
People in the comments want to jump to conclusions and call this satanic bc they think the world revolves around their religious interpretation. There are ppl explaining in the comments with sources that this song alludes to African religious practices amd traditions; anyone calling this satanic is prejucide maybe even racist but definitely ignorant af
Agreeeeeeee
a shhmeeko agreee
Loving the African roots in this video ✊✊✊
I'm loving this I'm Cuban and black glad to see this too many people scared of our roots and spiritual beliefs
Laughing at the people who think this is a "craft" reference when actually... This is a way of life. Yeye Oshuuuuuuuun
I mean, its both. She said it herself it's a "The Craft" reference...
I love the combination of worlds. 🖤
