Empawa Africa is excited to announce the release of the music video for Tekno’s single “Wayo”.
The video, directed by the acclaimed Dammy Twitch, provides a vibrant and genuine depiction of love set against the backdrop of the bustling city of Lagos.
The video tells a tale of love and resilience, effectively bringing to life the essence of both the song and the city.
The storyline follows a couple, brilliantly portrayed by Tekno and Nollywood’s Uzoamaka Aniunoh, as they navigate the highs and lows of their relationship within the dynamic streets and dating culture of Lagos.
The narrative underscores the themes of love, forgiveness and victory.
SHUGAVYBZ’s masterful sound production enriches the narrative, harmonizing perfectly with the visuals. The term ‘Wayo’ implies a scam in Nigerian slang, but Tekno uses it to assure his lover of his sincere devotion in his song, stating “I no come do wayo”.
The music video, directed by Forbes 30 Under 30 filmmaker Dammy Twitch, who has also worked with the likes of Davido, Yung Bleu, and DaBaby, brings to life a heartfelt narrative of love, forgiveness and resilience demonstrating how Tekno and his lover overcome their relationship challenges.
