Six Months Later, Fido delivers ‘Joy Is Coming’ visuals

Afrobeats sensation Fido has unveiled the highly anticipated music video for his chart-topping single, Joy Is Coming. Directed by the talented Filmboi, the video brings the song’s uplifting energy to life, marking a significant moment for Fiso, who has quickly become one of Nigeria’s most talked-about talents.

Released in December 2024, Joy Is Coming quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The song dominated the airwaves, charts, and social media, amassing over 21 million streams and maintaining a five-week tenure at the top of the TurnTable Top 100 chart. It also debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, solidifying Fido’s place as a rising star in the international music scene.

The music video, filmed in the vibrant streets of Lagos, showcases dazzling choreography and vivid visuals that amplify the track’s message of hope, resilience, and celebration. Fido’s charismatic presence shines as he navigates scenes of triumph and transformation, with dancers and colorful settings reflecting the song’s promise of brighter days.

Beyond its success in Nigeria, Joy Is Coming has garnered international attention. The song reached No. 7 on the Global Shazam Top Songs chart, tying with Davido’s “Funds” as the highest-charting Nigerian song released in 2024 on this platform.

Despite its success, the song faced challenges, including its temporary removal from Spotify in February 2025. Fido addressed the issue, assuring fans that efforts were underway to resolve the situation. The song remains available on other major streaming platforms, including Apple Music, where it previously secured the number one position on the Nigeria Top 100 chart.

Fido’s Joy Is Coming video is more than just a visual accompaniment to a song; it is a celebration of hope, resilience, and the vibrant spirit of Afrobeats. With its infectious melody and powerful visuals, the video is set to inspire and uplift audiences worldwide.
