Kemi Adetiba Drops 2Baba’s Soul-Stirring “Save Me” for To Kill A Monkey Soundtrack
Nigerian filmmaker Kemi Adetiba has ignited excitement across social media with the release of “Save Me,” the lead single and music video from the official soundtrack of the highly anticipated series To Kill A Monkey.
The track, performed by Afrobeats legend 2Baba, was officially released on July 30 and immediately drew praise for its emotional resonance and powerful visuals.
“Save Me” blends 2Baba’s signature soulful storytelling with intense scenes from the series, creating an immersive experience that resonates deeply with fans.
The track also features Oscar Heman-Ackah, Adetiba’s husband and an acclaimed Ghanaian music producer, who co-crafted the record’s moving soundscape.
On her official Instagram page, Adetiba shared a teaser with the caption: “KAV presents the lead single and music video ‘SAVE ME’ by @oscarhemanackah & @official2baba … As featured on the ‘TO KILL A MONKEY’ Official Soundtrack Album.”
While fans praised the video’s emotional depth and production quality, it also sparked side conversations online. One viewer suggested actor Daniel Etim-Effiong would have been a better fit for Bucci Franklin Obuz’s role in the series, hinting at alternate possibilities in casting dynamics.
The music video has since drawn an outpouring of reactions. Admirers of 2Baba hailed him as timeless, with one fan writing, “2baba the greatest of all time.” Others described the song as soul-touching and reflective, especially considering the challenges the artist has faced in the public eye in recent times.
Many viewers feel that the video tells a story that goes beyond the film, with one commenter noting: “Is it me or this song/video applies to both the movie and 2baba! #Wow.” Another added: “2baba breathed life into this music. Omo baba Na baba.”
The song’s emotional weight, lyrical depth, and cinematic visuals have made “Save Me” not just a soundtrack contribution but a cultural moment. Fans continue to flood Adetiba’s and 2Baba’s pages with praise, firmly placing the song as a standout in the 2025 Nigerian music and film scene.
