🔥🇳🇬 RUNTOWN — “MAD OVER YOU” (2016): THE SONG THAT HAD EVERYBODY SINGING! ❤️🎶 Omo, who remembers this classic? 😭🔥 When Runtown released “Mad Over You” on November 4, 2016, he gave us a love song with a melody that was difficult to forget. From parties to weddings, clubs and radio stations, this record became one of the defining Afrobeats songs of its era! 🇬🇭🇳🇬 THE GHANA CONNECTION THAT GOT PEOPLE TALKING! One interesting thing about this record was its Ghanaian musical influence. Runtown drew inspiration from African beauty, particularly Ghana, and listeners noticed the highlife-inspired sound. Some people debated where the sound belonged, but Runtown’s position was that African music influences one another. 🌍❤️ 😳 THE RECORD-LABEL CONTROVERSY! Here is the part many fans may not remember. Runtown recorded “Mad Over You” while he was involved in a contractual dispute with his record label, Eric Many Entertainment. In 2017, the dispute became a major talking point in the Nigerian music industry. Despite the tension surrounding his label situation, the song continued to grow into a massive hit! 🏆 AWARDS & NOMINATIONS At The Headies 2018, “Mad Over You” received nominations in three categories: 🏆 Best Pop Single 🏆 Song of the Year 🏆 Headies’ Viewer’s Choice However, the song did not win these three categories. Davido won Best Pop Single and Song of the Year with “If,” while Wizkid won the Viewer’s Choice award with “Come Closer.” Still, three nominations at one of Nigeria’s biggest music awards showed how much impact this record had made. 👏🏽🔥 📺 THE VIDEO MILESTONE! The song’s official music video went on to surpass 100 million YouTube views by February 2020. That was a major milestone and further proved that “Mad Over You” had travelled far beyond Nigeria. 🤔 THE GOSSIP & DEBATE! The song’s Ghanaian influence sparked conversations, and Runtown’s label dispute added another layer to the story. But there is no reliably confirmed evidence that the song was written about a specific celebrity relationship, so let’s not turn speculation into fact! ❤️🔥 OLD BUT GOLD QUESTION: Be honest, which Runtown song was bigger for you — “Mad Over You,” “For Life,” or “Gallardo”? And do you think “Mad Over You” is one of the greatest Nigerian love songs ever made? Drop your answer below! 👇🏽💬 #Runtown #MadOverYou #EricManyEntertainment #TheHeadies #Afrobeats - @oldbutgoldworld
