Nigerian Afropop sensation Tekno released his first solo single of 2025, “Alhaji,” on May 23, 2025, via Cartel Music/emPawa Africa. Produced by rising star Ranson Beatz, the track is a vibrant, dancefloor-ready love tune that sees Tekno infatuated with a captivating woman—highlighted by the catchy line, “She hold me for work.”
The official music video, directed by Dammy Twitch, brings the song’s upbeat energy to life through colorful, fast-paced visuals, choreographed dance sequences, and playful romantic vignettes—enhancing its celebratory mood.
“Alhaji” marks a triumphant return for Tekno after his successful 2023 album The More The Better and hits like “Pana,” “Duro,” and “Skeletun.” Known as the “Golden Boy of Africa,” Tekno continues to cement his legacy with this feel-good anthem that blends romance, rhythm, and streetwise charm.
