Elevated experiences celebrating the culture through dance and rhythm

Watch Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy Serve Love, Laughter & Plenty of Drama in “Ala Bekee”

Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy Turn Up the Competition in Hilarious “Ala Bekee” Visual

When Afropop royalty collides over a wedding gig, you know things are about to get messy—in the best way possible. Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy have dropped the music video for “Ala Bekee,” and it’s a delightfully chaotic ride through pre-wedding drama, friendly rivalry, and the kind of love song that makes you want to call your person immediately.

The track itself is pure celebration, weaving together themes of commitment and partnership with the excitement that comes with building a life together. Yemi Alade delivers vocals drenched in forever-love energy, while Don Jazzy chimes in with wishes for abundance, adventure, and all the good things marriage brings. The title—an Igbo phrase linked to overseas life—nods to the couple’s honeymoon fantasies, with lyrics painting pictures of Maldives getaways and the possibility of little ones arriving right on schedule. It’s sweet, it’s cheeky, and it captures that electric anticipation Nigerian weddings are known for.

But the visual? That’s where the magic really happens. Nollywood favorites Destiny Etiko and Nosa Rex play an engaged couple prepping for their pre-wedding shoot when both Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy pitch their photography services. The catch? Whoever shoots the better session wins the contract for the big day. What follows is comedic gold as the two music giants turn into cutthroat competitors, sabotaging each other’s setups while trying to capture the perfect shot. Think elaborate styling, glamorous bridal party moments, and enough behind-the-scenes shenanigans to keep you entertained from start to finish. The video also honors its Igbo wedding roots with stunning traditional attire and cultural touches that ground the humor in authentic celebration.

“Ala Bekee” serves as a tasty preview of what’s coming on Yemi Alade’s seventh studio album, It’s Yemi Alade, set to arrive September 11, 2026. If this playful, romance-soaked offering is any indication, the project is going to deliver all the vibes.
