Niniola is no doubt one of the biggest female artiste in Nigeria at the moment taking us by storm with hits back to back.
Her hit song ”Maradona” was produced by the brilliant Sarz, the same man behind Niniola’s “Ibadi” and “Soke”, it’s not really that surprising that “Maradona” is such a jam.
“Maradona” was a single that was in the buildup to Niniola debut album, ”This is me.” The song is inspired by former Argentina football player, Diego Maradona, who is regarded by many as the greatest footballer ever.
By referring to the man in the song as Maradona, she depicted him as a ”Player” but in a different context, in the sense that he plays with her feelings like a footballer that plays with a ball.
”Shey footballer ni e, to n gba balli kiri?
Shey telescope ni e, to n wo omo kiri?
To’ju re ba fo o, don’t blame it on Nini
To ba wa di l’ale, you come to me weeping”
“Maradona” details how a girl finds out that her lover was cheating on her and sleeping with all her friends. The girl then decides to end things with her unfaithful man.
In an interview with a Nigerian online magazine, Niniola stated how the inspiration of ”Maradona” came
”The inspiration of “Maradona” came to me while I was in the studio with Sarz making the beat. Like all the other songs I always walk into the studio blank until I hear the beat. Once he was 50% done, he played it and we vibed to it, and what kept on coming to my mind was Maradona.
The second we recorded we knew right away it was the next single and that people will like it, but we didn’t think the Love will grow this fast.” she saidFOLLOW Instagram - kemikingblog Facebook - jaiyeorie Weddings - jaiyeorieweddings Advertise/ send gist to us - jaiyenews@gmail.com ... spill TEA Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
