Nigerian rap icon Olamide has officially released his first solo single of 2026, titled “Rock Me Gentle,” alongside an accompanying music video that is already trending across Instagram and TikTok.
The track, released on May 6, 2026, under his YBNL Nation imprint in partnership with EMPIRE Distribution, showcases Olamide’s signature Afro‑fusion style. Over rhythmic verses and melodic hooks, he explores themes of romance, lifestyle, and abundance—a familiar yet fresh sound that has kept him at the forefront of Afrobeats for over a decade.
The music video, directed with vibrant visuals, amplifies the song’s easy‑going, celebratory vibe. Fans have flooded social media with dance clips and reaction posts, pushing “Rock Me Gentle” to early viral status.
The release follows a busy year of high‑profile features for Olamide, including “Ara” with Bella Shmurda and “Formation” with Adekunle Gold. But “Rock Me Gentle” marks his first moment alone in the spotlight since 2025.
With YBNL Nation continuing to shape the next generation of stars, Olamide proves he still commands the mic. “Rock Me Gentle” is now streaming on all major platforms.
Watch the official video on YouTube, and expect this one to dominate playlists through the summer.
