Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy team up for a hilarious and romantic music video titled “Ala Bekee,” turning a simple pre-wedding photoshoot into a high-stakes competition between the two Afropop stars. The video, released ahead of Yemi Alade’s upcoming seventh studio album It’s Yemi Alade set for September 11, 2026, blends Nigerian wedding traditions with comedy, love, and cultural flair. The song itself is a heartfelt ode to enduring love, with lyrics that celebrate commitment, prosperity, and the joy of building a life together.
In “Ala Bekee,” Yemi Alade sings about a love that stands the test of time, while Don Jazzy adds his signature touch with prayers for wealth, travel, and celebration.

The track captures the essence of Nigerian weddings—full of hope, excitement, and playful anticipation.
The music video brings this theme to life through a comedic narrative featuring Nollywood actors Destiny Etiko and Nosa Rex as an engaged couple preparing for their pre-wedding shoot.

What starts as a friendly offer quickly escalates into a full-blown rivalry, with each artist trying to outshine the other through elaborate setups, glamorous bridal party looks, and sneaky sabotage.
The video showcases vibrant traditional Igbo attire, cultural details, and festive energy, grounding the story in authentic Nigerian wedding customs. The playful battle between Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy adds humor and charm, making the video both entertaining and relatable. Their on-screen chemistry highlights not just their musical collaboration but also their shared understanding of Nigerian love stories and celebrations.
