Looking for a music video with grits and bustling energy? TG Omori might just be the right guy for it.
No GOAT list of the genre’s music video directors is complete without TG Omori! If you have ever vibed to an Afrobeats track and found yourself glued to the screen, chances are he had a hand in it. Nigerian director ThankGod Omori Jesam has transformed music videos into vibrant spectacles, blending color, culture, and masterful storytelling through choreographed ensembles.
At just 29, with a career that kicked off in his teens, TG Omori has worked with the biggest names in the game—Davido, Asake, Naira Marley, you name it—and built a reputation for visuals that do not just complement a song, but elevate it.
Here are 10 of TG Omori’s best-directed music videos that prove why he’s a powerhouse.
1. Asake – Peace Be Unto You (PBUY)
When Asake dropped PBUY on June 16, 2022, TG Omori gave us a video that felt like a party you wish you were invited to. Imagine Asake, decked out in slick outfits, leading a crew in perfect sync, dancing like they own the streets. The video racked up over 1.1 million views on YouTube in a single day, and it is not hard to see why. The energy is infectious, the visuals are bold, and there is this sense of unity that ties it all together. TG Omori captures Asake’s rise as a star here, blending street vibes with a polished edge that screams celebration.
2. Naira Marley – Soapy
Say what you want about Naira Marley, but Soapy, released on August 9, 2019, is a cultural moment—and TG Omori made it unforgettable. Set in a prison, the video follows Naira Marley and his crew busting out the now-iconic Soapy dance, a move he picked up from inmates. It pulled over 3 million views in three weeks, but it also stirred up some noise—people debated if it glorified the wrong things. TG Omori leaned into that edge, delivering a raw, unapologetic visual that matches Naira Marley’s rebel spirit.
3. Kizz Daniel ft Tekno – Buga

TG Omori keeps it simple but effective, letting the artists’ charisma carry the weight while adding just enough flair to make it memorable.
5. Seyi Vibez – Shaolin
Released earlier this year, this music video marked his comeback after a hiatus to recover from a health scare.

A gritty yet stylish concept, filled with sharp cuts, shadowy aesthetics, and a nod to Shaolin culture—unexpected yet unmistakably TG Omori. And we’re thrilled to have him back!

Ckay’s Love Nwantiti is the big one. The original video, out on February 14, 2020, hit over 300 million views, making it the first Afrobeats video to break that mark. TG Omori’s North African remix video, released November 4, 2021, keeps the magic alive with a Lagos shoot that blends romance and rhythm.
