Adekunle Gold - Oba
Nigerian superstar Adekunle Gold delivers Oba, a track that radiates authority, cultural pride, and fearless energy. The title itself — meaning King in Yoruba — sets the tone for a song that celebrates power, resilience, and self-mastery.
The track thrives on Adekunle’s commanding delivery, weaving themes of ambition, dominance, and confidence. His vocals glide across the beat with regal flair, pulling listeners into a narrative that feels both personal and universal.
Infused with the pulse of Afrobeats, the traditional richness of Fuji, and the vibrant edge of Street Pop, the production balances modern rhythm with indigenous flavor, creating a soundscape that is celebratory yet powerful.
Oba is more than a song — it’s a sonic coronation, a fearless proclamation of Adekunle Gold’s artistry and his place as one of Nigeria’s most versatile and influential hitmakers.

Oba Lyrics:
Ọba ọba ọba
Ah oh, ahh oh, ah oh
Ọba ọba ọbaNo ask me nada
Mi o le fẹjọ lọ gbaṣọ ni Prada
Just tryna make my mommy proud of me
And I wanna give my baby the best of me
Fire for fire
Gbẹdu o le tan na dem go tire
Keep enemy close stay away from frenemies
Emi nikan ni ko ma sẹlomi
If you dey wait apology I'm sorry for you (I'm sorry for you)
Saving my energy I'll keep the rest for me
Just dey play (Just dey play)
Mi o ṣa le para mi
I need an aeroplane
Goodnight Lagos, bojour de Paris
Ah oh, ahh oh, ah oh
Ọba ọba ọba
Ah oh, ahh oh, ah oh
Ọba ọba ọba
Oluwa be my defender
Make nobody go dey form agenda
Anything you wish me back to sender
And if you love me nakupenda
Yawa go dey if I no dey feel your matter
Tina ba wọle darkness scatter
Born of a king I'm your father
Igimu jina sori modafucka
If you dey wait apology I'm sorry for you (I'm sorry for you)
Saving my energy I'll keep the rest for me
Just dey play (Just dey play)
Mi o ṣa le para mi
I need an aeroplane
Goodnight Lagos, bojour de Paris
Ah oh, ahh oh, ah oh
Ọba ọba ọba
Ah oh, ahh oh, ah oh
Ọba ọba ọba
Ah oh, ahh oh, ah oh
Ọba ọba ọba
Ah oh, ahh oh, ah oh
Ọba ọba ọba
