Nigerian-born, UK-based rap star Deela is turning heads once again with her brand-new single and video, “Why Always Me”, a fierce, magnetic anthem that blends early 2000s Afrobeats swagger with modern rap precision.
The music video is pure Deela magic, a retro-inspired visual feast bathed in green, white, and gold. She steps onto a tennis court like a queen reclaiming her throne, dressed in sporty Y2K looks, a pleated green mini skirt, a crop top, and wristbands that scream vintage Lagos chic. Surrounded by her all-female crew, Deela radiates main-character energy, playful and in control.
As the beat kicks in, her lyrics hit with unfiltered bravado:
“Why always me? / They tryna steal the swag under my feet / Jab all my haters, Mohammed Ali / Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.”
The video shifts between outdoor scenes of vibrant performance energy and sleek studio shots where she holds a gold “1st” trophy, a symbol of her self-made triumph.
