Director Pink, well-known Nigerian music video director, has revealed new information about how she ultimately oversaw the creation of the Abracadabra remix video after Wizkid allegedly rejected the original idea.
The rapidly growing director, who is renowned for her vivid and imaginative visual storytelling, disclosed in a recent interview that she was introduced to the popular project—which featured Wizkid, Skiibii, Rexxie, and Naira Marley—by accident.
“They said Wizkid didn’t like the first idea for Abracadabra, so I became the second option, even though I’m their guy,” she said with a laugh.
Despite the unforeseen situation, Director Pink assumed complete command of the Abracadabra set, managing four of the biggest names in Afrobeats. She remarked, “Had to control four men on set, Wizkid, Skiibii, Rexxie, and Naira Marley,” in reference to the dynamics on set. Being a girl has many perks.”
The ensuing music video for Rexxie’s Abracadabra remix was a visual triumph, flamboyant, colourful, and full of energy, winning great praise from fans and industry insiders alike.
The tale of director Pink provides insight into the hectic, high-pressure realm of music video production, where leadership, adaptability, and inventiveness are essential. Her status as one of the top female filmmakers influencing Nigeria’s music visual scene today has been further solidified by her ability to jump in, adjust fast, and produce an exceptional video for some of the greatest performers in the business.
