November just started, and you know what that means – the annual challenge to keep it zipped, literally. No Nut November, the internet’s favourite abstinence movement, is back.
To help you power through those tempting moments, we’ve curated the ultimate playlist. These 10 Afrobeats bops, carefully selected to keep your mind focused and your resolve strong, will be your auditory guardian angels.
If You Ask Me — Omawumi
This is a soulful, conscious song about child sexual abuse, but it works for No Nut November. This one goes out to everyone who uses what’s between their legs to hurt others and their community. Do us a favour; keep your thing to yourself.
Gobe — Davido
You see, Davido doesn’t fool himself. He sings that there’s a strong sexual tension in the air, but he’s ready to wait. He’s a patient man. Davido sings, “Good come those who wait.” If your babe says till December, my dear, you’ll have to make patience a virtue.
No Kissing Baby – Patoranking feat. Sarkodie
Patoranking isn’t here for only sexual relations; he’s all about giving and receiving the fullness of love. He sings: “If you no give, I no get take o.” Then, in the hook, “No kissing, baby, no touching, baby.” This is a man who will carry out a successful NNN. Be like him.
Natural Something — Sound Sultan
Do you know that spending lavishly on someone you like sincerely can be more pleasurable than a coitus meet-and-greet? No one needs a nut when there’s money to spend their time spending.
No Touching — Guchi
“Shey if I say no touching, shey you love me like that?”, Guchi asks in this song. There’s no better song to build boundaries and erect restrictions of urges this November than No Touching.
Ladi — Phyno & Olamide feat. Lil Kesh
These grown men sing about their dislike for eating it. They don’t care about their partner’s nuts. Anyone who moves like this doesn’t deserve to get some, either. Ojoro cancel ojoro.
Wait for Me — Johnny Drille
Johnny Drille goes away for a bit, and he asks his lover to wait for him. He earnestly asks for her dedication to their love while he’s away. If you find someone that does the same for you, hold them tight.
Goodbye — Ayra Starr feat. Asake
Hugging a pillow is better than accepting disrespect in the name of having a partner or getting nuts. This is what Arya is telling us in this song. Listen.
Space — Tay Iwar feat. Cruel Santino and Preyé
This may sound like a heartbreak song to some of you, but see it this way: If your babe says No Nut November isn’t for them, but you’re observing it, tell them to give you space for a moment. If they’re for you, they’ll wait for you.
by now — CKay
This song is a cry of a man who’s been patient because he got the promise of sex. Are you like Ckay in this song? Or are you just like the one making him do this shalaye? Here’s your anthem.
