 Following the successful TikTok premiere and viral momentum of his romantic single “Oyi”, Nigerian breakout artist Tenorboy releases the highly anticipated official music video—a visual that matches the track’s raw emotion and melodic depth with stunning, cinematic storytelling.

Directed with striking sensitivity and subtle flair, the Oyi video paints an intimate portrait of young, passionate love—complete with moody lighting, sweeping close-ups, and beautifully captured urban scenery. Tenorboy, known for his energetic, youthful bravado, leans into his vulnerable side for the first time, offering fans a rare look behind the curtain.

“This video is my love letter,” Tenorboy shares. “Oyi came from a real place. The visuals had to match the emotion. I wanted the world to see the softer side of me that people don’t usually get to see.”

“Oyi” serves as the first official single from Tenorboy’s upcoming self-titled EP, Tenorboy. The track, produced with lush Afrobeats melodies and anchored by heartfelt lyrics, is already being hailed as a love anthem for Gen Z, resonating deeply with audiences across Africa and beyond.

The video captures the duality of Tenorboy’s personality: bold yet sincere, a “hard guy lover boy” who isn’t afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. Through the lens of romantic vulnerability, Oyi sets the tone for the EP and introduces the world to the full emotional range of one of Nigeria’s fastest rising stars.
