1 / 2

Nigerian singer Niniola has released “Raining (O Dun Mi),” a deeply personal tribute to her late husband, talent manager and longtime partner, Michael Ndika, who died in May 2026. The Afro-house star uses the song to reflect on grief, love and the memories that remain after loss. The Yoruba phrase “O dun mi” conveys a deep emotional feeling, and the track turns that pain into a gentle message of healing. Niniola said the song is not only a way to honour her partner’s role in her life and career, but also a comfort for anyone mourning someone they love. It is her first major release since his passing.

A tribute can be meaningful, but listeners should allow the song to stand on its own rather than reducing it only to tragedy.
