Adekunle Gold has reignited love for Fuji music with Many People which is one of the standout songs from his sixth studio album Fuji.

The music video, released on November 11, 2025, celebrates Yoruba music culture through colourful scenes, vintage outfits, and strong Fuji rhythms.

Since Fuji dropped, fans have praised Adekunle Gold for blending Fuji and Afrobeats while still keeping the traditional Yoruba sound alive.

Many People stands out because it connects old-school Fuji with today’s modern Afrobeats, showing Adekunle Gold’s deep respect for his roots.

The track borrows from Yinka Ayefele’s 2003 song Mi O Mo J’orin Lo which told the story of his struggle and later triumph.

Ayefele originally sang, “Many many many people say eee, Ayefele o le dide,” after his accident that left him paralysed.

Adekunle Gold gives the line a fresh meaning, turning it into a message of success and gratitude instead of pain and sorrow.

He sings “Many many many people say eee eja nla no be small fish o” a line filled with pride and confidence.Some fans believe Ayefele’s inspiration came from Fuji legend Adewale Ayuba’s 1995 track Fuji Music, which also used similar lines.

That connection makes Many People more than a remix; it becomes a bridge linking two important generations of Fuji music.

Not just a video

The video, directed by Nouvelle Films Production, runs for three minutes and forty seconds, featuring music icons Ayefele and Ayuba.

Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner Imisi and Adekunle Gold’s lookalike Mensah, also appear, adding youthful energy to the visual.

The video opens with Ayefele in his wheelchair, singing his classic line with passion and hand gestures full of energy.

Then, Adekunle Gold appears in an Ankara jacket, Panama hat, and dark glasses that remind fans of Fatai Rolling Dollar.

The background scenes are bright and full of life, taking us back to the style of ’90s Fuji music videos many Nigerians grew up watching.

At exactly 2:01, Adewale Ayuba joins the scene, instantly raising the tempo with his usual lively and confident performance style.

He sings “Ori mi wu o, ma korin gan,” while dancers move around them, turning the scene into pure Fuji celebration.

The duet between Adekunle Gold and Ayuba feels natural, showing respect between two artistes from different eras who share one passion.

Every scene is clean and joyful, with dancers, talking drums, and lights that fit the rhythm without looking overdone or forced.

The video feels simple but well-planned, focusing on culture and music instead of flashy effects or unnecessary storytelling.

Bridge between generations

By bringing together Ayefele and Ayuba, Adekunle Gold shows that Fuji is still alive and inspiring the next generation.

Many People is not just a video; it is a heartfelt tribute to Fuji and the legends who kept it alive.

Adekunle Gold proves he understands the music’s roots and honours them while keeping it fun for today’s audience.

Verdict

Adekunle Gold’s Many People video reminds Nigerians that music lasts longer when it respects history and celebrates culture with pride.
