According to an official release announcement reported by **Nigerian Entertainment Today**, Queen of Afro-House Niniola Apata dropped a deeply emotional tribute single titled “Raining (O Dun Mi)” dedicated to the memory of her late husband, Michael Ndika. The track marks her most vulnerable artistic release to date.
Writing via her verified Instagram handle, **@officialniniola**, the singer shared, “I made this song from the deepest part of my heart in memory of my love.” Reviewing the track, **NOTJUSTOK** noted on their platform, “Niniola strips back her signature energetic Afro-house beats for a soulful tribute that honors personal grief.”
**Echotitbits Take:**
Niniola’s sudden pivot from high-energy dance tracks to reflective memorial music shows remarkable vulnerability. The single is receiving overwhelming sympathy and support across the African music community, reinforcing her connection with fans beyond dancefloors.
