VIDEO: Dipp – “Yokozuna”
Multiple award-winning Nigerian entertainer, Dipp returns after a long hiatus with highly infectious music video, “Yokozuna.”
Having left a mark in the industry, the singer, songwriter and dancer is back to set new record as he unravels brand new enviable visual of “Yokozuna” which can be said to be the best afro-contemporary music video 2016 will experience.
Dipp introduces us to “Yokozuna” visual using kanji ideograms to give admiration to the highest rank of professional sumo wrestling in Japan. In “Yokozuna”, Dipp adopted inestimable visual effects, energetic dance steps and armored the flick with exotic costumes which shows his deep knowledge about the African culture.
Tracing the concept of Dipp’s “Yokozuna” music video down to Yoruba history, Dipp takes us on enjoyable ride back to the narration of Sango –a royal ancestor of the Yorubas. He was the third Alafin (king) of the Oyo Kingdom prior to his posthumous deification.
As Sango is profoundly known to be the god of thunder who spits fire from his tongue, ignition of fire, he is also associated with red and white colours and special drums, Dipp showcased “Yokozuna” in a relatable heroic manner.
“Yokozuna” vehicles Dipp’s resourcefulness in bringing the unexpected into reality, the uniqueness of his new offering, “Yokozuna” is worth applauding.
No wonder MTV Base tagged the video as must watch on social media. “#MustWatch | We’ve got the first look at half man half @AmazingDIPP’s new #Yokozuna video!!! And yass its fresh & clean,” the 24-hour music and general entertainment channel acknowledgedDipp’s “Yokozuna” on twitter.

“The video is dope from dance to visual effecst to clarity to costumes”
“Yokozuna is worthy of winning as many awards as possible.”
“The warriors dancing in Dipp’s music video show he’s a conqueror who always conquers any music video battle.”

So I was scrolling earlier and stopped on this NNPC Retail flyer because it’s literally just a big question mark and a line that says “66 Reasons Why You Need To Watch This Space.” Nothing else. No context, no explanation, just vibes and mystery.
It also speaks to our Naija slang and banter (the “Omo,” “Gbas Gbos,” and “Sapa” ones had me laughing).
It’s part of their ongoing “66 Reasons Why We Love Naija” series, so it seems to be leading up to something for October 1st. What they are clear about is that you need the NNPC Fuel App to be in the loop. They describe it as fast, secure, reliable, and rewarding, and they’ve made it easy with a QR code you can scan straight from the post.
If they’re trying to build hype, it’s working on me. SCAN THE BAR CODE HERE.
