New Video: Niniola feat. Femi Kuti – Fantasy

Published

on

Niniola releases the video for her latest single “Fantasy” featuring Afrobeat icon, Femi Kuti.

The clip shot at the famed New Afrika Shrine in Ikeja, Nigeria, features dancers and vintage fashions inspired by the Kalakuta Queens, the all-female dance group which performed with Femi’s father — and the creator of Afrobeat — Fela Kuti in the 1970s.

“I used to watch videos of Fela Kuti and Femi Kuti, and I loved the music but I also loved the way the dancers moved their waist and hips,” Niniola says of the video, which was directed by Sesan and styled by Niniola and Kanyinsola Onalaja.

“I always wanted to do that. It was a childhood dream to record with the legend Femi Kuti. It’s one thing to have that dream, another for it to come to pass and you actually love the record. The vibe was surreal — we were shooting in The Shrine, the home of Afrobeat!”.

Fresh off her Grammy-nominated contribution to Beyoncé’s “The Lion King: The Gift” album and recent co-signs from Timbaland and Drake, Niniola premiered “Fantasy” last month on Beats1 with Ebro Darden.

The track, which pairs Niniola’s seductive vocal notes with a vintage Afrobeat horn arrangement from Femi Kuti and rich musical textures courtesy of KEL-P, offers an early taste of Niniola’s upcoming sophomore album, set to drop later this year.

On November 2, 2024, Nollywood took centre stage as Netflix hosted its much-anticipated annual celebration, “Lights, Camera…Naija!”

The event dedicated the night to honouring the industry’s Pioneers, Pillars, and Players. With this, it created an unforgettable tribute to the heart and soul of Nollywood.

With a dynamic blend of cinematic magic and stunning fashion, the evening showcased the very essence of Nigerian cinema.

Guests arrived dressed to impress in cabaret-chic outfits, flaunting everything from sequined gowns to bold tailored suits. As they entered, they were warmly welcomed by the charismatic host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

Known for his magnetic personality, Ebuka enthralled attendees with his engaging commentary. This added an extra layer of excitement and made the event truly memorable.

Netflix placed the spotlight on three critical groups within Nollywood this year. The Pioneers—those who laid the foundation of Nollywood in its early days—received well-deserved recognition.

Meanwhile, the Pillars, representing the talented off-screen professionals, were celebrated for their essential contributions behind the scenes.

Finally, the Players, Nollywood’s vibrant on-screen talent, were honoured for captivating audiences across the globe.

Adding a touch of official recognition, the Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy, Barr. Hannatu Musa Musawa graced the occasion. Warmly, Netflix’s VP of Content for the Middle East and Africa, Ben Amadasun welcomed him.

Throughout the night, live performances by rising music sensation Victony and the energetic Sharpband electrified the atmosphere, filling the room with vibrant melodies and lively beats.

As the evening progressed, it became clear that this year’s edition of “Lights, Camera…Naija!” was not only a celebration of Nollywood’s creativity.

Also, it is a powerful showcase of the artistry and community that continue to drive the industry forward. This dazzling event highlighted Netflix’s commitment to celebrating and supporting Nollywood’s thriving legacy.
