Music video

The music video,[3] directed by Clarence Peters, was shot at Suntan Beach in Badagry.[4] A behind the scenes video was uploaded onto YouTube on August 23, 2012. Iyanya mentioned Yvonne Nelson, Tonto Dikeh, and Tiwa Savage on the song. A controversy arose during his freestyle on Tim Westwood's Crib Sessions. Iyanya initially said: "Yvonne Nelson, I have Your medicine", but replaced it with "Yvonne Nelson, I lost your medicine" during the freestyle.[5]
