I really wanted to stress the level of professionalism that is peaking in Nigerian pop right now and becoming the norm for top artists. Wizkid has made a string of them by now, so maybe what I'm saying is helped by the fact that we just invested in a videoprojector and we're able to enjoy them cinema-size. But seriously, I find the blend of aesthetics, fashion, beauty, color very alluring. They seem purely artistic too, they're not popular or vulgar (rather a bit elitist), and I'm sure some would find they miss a narrative, but beauty is fine by me.
For sure there are juicy deals with the fashion industry behind this (better than alcohol at least).

I can confirm that that video looks amazing on small and large screens. When Burna shows up in the rainbow sweater after all the beautiful earth-tones, it's a genuine shock

^can we ban this prick already? adding "unprovoked hostility" to your "just youtubes" posting style was not a move in the right direction

seconding, these were my exact feelings as well. I hardly ever fp, but I made an exception for this.
