Nigeria’s creative powerhouse Jehovah-Nissi Ogulu, the genre-bending singer, songwriter, and visual artist — has returned with a thunderous new single, “Motivate,” featuring none other than Nigerian rap legend Olamide. Released today, October 3, 2025, under Spaceship Entertainment and distributed by EMPIRE, the track is already stirring excitement across streaming platforms.
Produced by Kiyagi, Motivate is a masterful fusion of Afrobeats, soul, and hip-hop swagger. Nissi’s rich, soulful voice soars over vibrant rhythms, while Olamide drops razor-sharp verses laced with grit and triumph. Together, they craft an anthem about resilience, ambition, and powering through life’s setbacks. It’s a record designed to move feet on the dance floor and minds on the grind — an empowering soundtrack for dreamers chasing greatness.
For Nissi, this release adds another jewel to an already dazzling crown. Beyond music, she’s a multidisciplinary force — an acclaimed visual artist, automotive designer, and storyteller — who was recently honored by Forbes in South Africa as one of Africa’s rising creative leaders. Her ability to merge art, music, and innovation has made her a respected voice in Africa’s new creative economy.
Olamide, fresh off the release of his self-titled album “Olamide,” brings his legendary street credibility and streaming dominance to the track. With billions of plays to his name and a reputation as one of Afrobeats’ most influential architects, his feature elevates Motivate to instant hit status.
With early buzz and strong playlist placements across Spotify, Apple Music, and Audiomack, Motivate is poised to become one of 2025’s defining Afro-fusion collaborations, a bold reminder that Nigerian creativity continues to lead the global soundscape.
