From colourful wedding drama to powerful stories of faith and a veteran artist making his return, some of the latest music videos are giving fans more than just good sounds.
Yemi Alade brings love, humour and Nigerian wedding culture to life in “Ala Bekee”, featuring Don Jazzy, while Greatman Takit takes a more reflective route with “ADML”, a cinematic story about struggle, faith and breakthrough. Meanwhile, eLDee steps back into the spotlight with “I Wish You Well”, giving fans a nostalgic reminder of why his voice remains significant in Nigerian music.

If you are looking for music videos worth watching right now, these releases offer very different experiences, but they all have one thing in common, they give the music a visual story worth paying attention to.
Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy bring wedding chaos to “Ala Bekee”
Yemi Alade’s “Ala Bekee” is already getting attention, with the official video released on September 3, 2026. The song features Don Jazzy, while the video stars Nollywood actors Destiny Etiko and Nosa Rex. Clarence Peters directed the visual.
The video takes viewers into the middle of a Nigerian pre wedding photoshoot, but things quickly become more competitive than romantic. Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy find themselves competing for the same photography contract, turning what should have been a beautiful wedding preparation into a hilarious battle for supremacy.
Destiny Etiko and Nosa Rex play the couple at the centre of the story, while the supporting cast adds even more colour to the wedding setting. Traditional fashion, asoebi, bridal preparations and the familiar energy of a Nigerian celebration all come together to give the video a distinctly Nigerian identity.
The song itself celebrates love, marriage and the excitement that comes with starting a life together. Yemi Alade brings the romantic energy, while Don Jazzy adds his own playful touch with prayers for prosperity, money, travel and a beautiful future for the couple.
What makes “Ala Bekee” particularly enjoyable is that it does not take itself too seriously. The video feels like a Nollywood comedy wrapped around an Afropop love song, with Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy clearly enjoying their roles.
And with Clarence Peters behind the camera, the visual gets that polished cinematic treatment that keeps the storyline moving without taking attention away from the music.
The video is already making its way into Nigeria’s current YouTube music conversation, with the release appearing among trending Nigerian music videos.
Watch “Yemi Alade, Ala Bekee” if you love Nigerian weddings, comedy, romance and music videos that actually tell a story.
Greatman Takit turns struggle into a testimony in “ADML”
If “Ala Bekee” is about celebration, Greatman Takit’s “ADML” takes us somewhere much deeper.
The Afrogospel singer has released a visualiser for “ADML”, one of the songs from his 2026 album Flames Of A Wildfire. The visual was directed by TG Omori and tells the story of a struggling young artist trying to survive on the streets of Lagos.
The story begins with Greatman Takit struggling to sell his artwork in Lagos traffic. It is a familiar picture of survival, talent and desperation, an artist trying to make something out of his gift while dealing with the realities of everyday life.
Then everything changes.
An encounter with a destiny helper takes the character from the streets to an exclusive art auction, where the same kind of artwork he once struggled to sell suddenly attracts wealthy buyers.
But “ADML” is not simply a rags to riches story.
The visual also explores faith, prayer and divine intervention. Greatman is shown going through moments of baptism, prayer and preaching, while Pastor Emmanuel Iren makes an appearance and lays hands on him during a powerful spiritual moment. Nollywood actor Daniel Etim Effiong also appears in the visual.
TG Omori gives the visual a cinematic quality, allowing the story to feel bigger than a conventional music video. The contrast between Lagos street life, the art world and the spiritual scenes creates a visual journey that mirrors the message of the song.
The title “ADML” is connected to “Ademola”, part of Greatman Takit’s birth name, while the song reflects on hardship, faith, God’s help and the experience of holding on when human strength is no longer enough.
It is the kind of visual that leaves you thinking about the journey rather than just remembering the chorus.
eLDee returns with “I Wish You Well”
After years away from the centre of Nigeria’s music scene, eLDee The Don is back, and “I Wish You Well” feels like the kind of record that could only come from an artist who has lived long enough to look back at his journey with a different perspective.
The veteran rapper released “I Wish You Well” on July 25 as his first single of 2026. The record is part of the new chapter he has been building after years away from releasing mainstream music.
For anyone who grew up listening to Nigerian hip hop in the 2000s, eLDee needs very little introduction. From his days with Trybesmen to his solo career, he was one of the artists who helped shape the sound and culture of Nigerian hip hop.
Now, years later, he is approaching music from a more reflective place.
“I Wish You Well” carries that feeling. Rather than trying desperately to sound like today’s hottest Afrobeats act, eLDee sounds comfortable being eLDee. There is a maturity in the record, the kind that comes from experience, distance and having nothing left to prove.
The return itself has generated plenty of nostalgia among Nigerian music fans. Before releasing the song, eLDee had teased his comeback and announced plans for a new project, giving fans who remember records like “Big Boy”, “Bosi Gbangba” and “Na Wash” another reason to pay attention.
The accompanying visualiser keeps the focus on the music and the personality behind it, allowing the record to breathe without forcing an elaborate storyline.
And perhaps that is exactly what makes the comeback interesting.
eLDee does not need to compete with the new generation. He has already lived through several generations of Nigerian music. What “I Wish You Well” represents is something much more personal, an artist returning because he still has something to say.
After spending years building a life away from the music spotlight, his return feels less like a desperate comeback and more like a homecoming.
eLDee is back, and judging by “I Wish You Well”, the old boy still has something in the tank.
