Italy-based Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Humanroot Temidola Awosika, otherwise known as Miss Humanroot, has dropped the music video for her latest single Fimisile.

Meaning, “leave me alone” in her native Yoruba language, Fimisile sees the fast rising music talent rallying against the abuse of women, children and anybody who can’t defend themselves, whether it is sexual, physical, verbal or mental.

Miss Humanroots wants everybody that may be feeling abused, to have the courage and power to speak up about it and to stand firm against their abusers and say Fimisile (leave me alone).

‘Respect’ in African culture can sometimes be taken to the extreme, which teaches children to do whatever adult demands, and obey whatever an adult says, otherwise it is disrespectful and they will get punished for it, but no child should be subject to abuse in the guise of respect.”

Throwing more light on why she penned the track, Humanroots added, “do you know how many African children are being abused? Do you know how many women are with an abusive husband? They get beaten while pregnant or they get treated like nothing, and once they complain, they get told, ‘he is your husband, go back home, this is marriage, it goes up and down, go back home.” Can we teach our children how to respect one another, instead of teaching our girls how to be treated like dogs,” she said.
