Nigerian music star Patoranking has announced the release of his upcoming single, No Jonze, which is set to drop on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
The award-winning Afrobeats and Dancehall singer revealed the news on Thursday, October 2, with a viral video snippet that quickly gained traction among fans online. The title draws from popular Nigerian slang “Jonze,” which means to act carelessly or without seriousness. By declaring No Jonze, Patoranking signals a message of focus and determination, both in the music and its underlying theme.
The teaser video shows the singer in a bold, military-style olive green outfit paired with a beret and gloves, performing energetic dance moves against a rustic brick backdrop. The snippet also gives fans a taste of the track’s infectious rhythm, which blends Reggae, Dancehall, and Afrobeats influences, hallmarks of Patoranking’s signature style. With lyrics delivered in a mix of English and Pidgin, the chorus emphasizes the need for seriousness, resonating with the song’s title.
Known for crafting socially conscious records alongside energetic party anthems, Patoranking has built a reputation as one of Africa’s most versatile hitmakers. The forthcoming single is already being hailed as a potential anthem, further heightening anticipation for its mid-October release.
