Off her studio album 'Celia' released in August, Tiwa Savage drops yet another music video, this time round for the song 'Ole' that features the president of controversial fan-base 'Marlians' - Naira Marley.

Directed by Clarence Peters, the 'Ole' video is dedicated to lives lost during a recent wave of #EndSARS protests across Nigeria.

It starts with a write-up: "dedicated to every single life lost to injustice in Nigeria. A Change Is Coming" and ends with the hashtag #WeAreTired.

The video was dropped on October 30 and has so far been watched over 320k times on YouTube.

'Ole' is among the best performing songs from the 'Celia' album and release of its visuals is expected to raise its profile even further.

The song talks about corruption, bad governance and looting which are some of the things that recent protests were fighting against.

'Ole' video has a catchy story-line of a bounty hunter who makes a captured corrupt government official pay his dues.

The visuals also features an appearance from BBINaija star Tacha.

This is the third visual from 'Celia' album that Tiwa Savage has released after 'Dangerous Love' and 'Koroba' which have all performed well.

The song has been compared to Rihana’s ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ and boasts of a captivating preamble, with a near 40 seconds of vibrant horns, feel-good drums and an ensorcelling bass guitar.

In a statement explaining the inspiration behind 'Ole' Tiwa Savage said: "This song has a very strong Afrobeats bounce and it’s got a very bossy attitude. It just says, ‘Nobody messes with me and my money.’

Naira was the perfect person ‘cause he doesn’t play around. He comes on and says, ‘At one stage in our lives, we’ve all done something bad, so don’t judge me and I won’t judge you.’ It’s such a cool record and it’s definitely gonna get people’s attention. I really want everyone to pay attention to Naira’s lyrics, they’re so clever and witty.”
