From Puerto Rico to Okokomaiko — Yemi Alade Rides for Her Day Ones in “My Padi”
![]()
Yemi Alade is back with the visuals for her soulful track, âMy Padi,â and itâs the kind of song that makes you want to text your closest friend just to say, âthank you for being you.â
Performed in a brightly lit room with nothing but a mic hanging from the ceiling and Yemiâs voice carrying the emotion, the video keeps things simple, letting the lyrics do the talking. And they do. From âI dey for youâ to âYour enemy na my enemy,â the song is all about showing up for the people whoâve always shown up for you.
âMy Padiâ isnât about flashy friendship goals or grand declarations. Itâs about real ones. The kind of friends who hold you down when youâre broke, who celebrate your wins, and stay close no matter how far apart life takes you. Whether sheâs singing about Paris, Puerto Rico, or Okokomaiko, Yemi reminds us that true friendship doesnât need to be in the same place to feel close.
Itâs warm, honest, and quietly powerful. And in a world where loyalty can feel rare, âMy Padiâ is a beautiful reminder that real friendship still exists and deserves to be celebrated.
Watch the video below and, if someone came to mind while you listened, maybe go ahead and send it to them.
