Adekunle Gold’s new music video for “Many People”, the eighth track from his fifth studio album i, celebrates Nigeria’s rich musical heritage through a vivid revival of the Fuji genre. Shot in Lagos, the video bursts with color, rhythm, and community spirit — a nostalgic nod to the golden era of Fuji music videos that once dominated Nigerian television.
The visual, directed with cultural precision, features appearances from Yinka Ayefele, a legendary Fuji artist, and Adewale Ayuba, who contributes a fresh verse that bridges the genre’s timeless energy with modern flair. Reality TV personality Imisi and Adekunle Gold’s look-alike Mensan also appear, adding a playful and human touch to the production’s communal tone.
“Many People” blends traditional Fuji rhythms with contemporary production, fusing Yoruba oral traditions like Apala, Tungba, and layered storytelling. The result is both celebratory and reflective — an anthem of cultural pride that modernizes Fuji for a global audience while keeping its authenticity intact.
Over a decade after his breakout hit “Sade,” Adekunle Gold continues to evolve as an artist, unafraid to experiment while deeply rooted in heritage. With Fuji, he reclaims the sound that shaped his upbringing and reintroduces it to a new generation — reaffirming his place as one of Nigeria’s most innovative and culturally conscious musicians.
