Nigerian R&B rising star, Rukmani, has made a powerful comeback with her latest single, Not Nice, featuring rap sensation SGaWD.

The track, which dropped alongside vibrant visuals, is already generating buzz for its fearless message of empowerment and solidarity.

Set against the backdrop of Lagos, Not Nice tells the story of two women who discover they have been played by the same “Yoruba demon.” Rather than turning on each other, Rukmani and SGaWD flip the narrative, transforming heartbreak into an anthem of confidence, resilience, and sisterhood.

The video, which also features a cameo from rapper and socialite Fresh L, blends Nollywood aesthetics with Y2K nostalgia, offering a cinematic celebration of bold femininity and youth culture.

The release builds on the momentum of Rukmani’s debut project 3XL, an eight-track showcase that highlighted her ability to weave soulful R&B melodies with Afro-fusion rhythms and sharp storytelling.

With standout tracks such as Woman Joseph (Club Mix), From Softie to You, and Compromise, the project firmly positioned her as one of Nigeria’s most exciting new voices.

With Not Nice, Rukmani underscores her growing reputation as an artist with both local authenticity and global resonance.

More than just a single, the track cements her place among a new generation of African musicians pushing the boundaries of contemporary sound.
