Bebe Cool has recently become an artist known for giving people memorable moments, starting with the release of both the audio and video for “Circumference,” the first single off his upcoming album Break the Chains.
On Wednesday, during a roundtable discussion for his new initiative, The Motivation Week, which aired on NBS, Galaxy FM, and NRG platforms, he announced that he will drop his second single, titled “Motivation,” this Friday, February 21st, 2025, across all major music channels on the continent.
But none of this happened in isolation. He also revealed that the ongoing Motivation Week will become an annual celebration of motivators and a platform to inspire other Ugandans. This annual Motivation Week will be held every year, the week after Valentine’s Day.
The Motivation Week is a Bebe Cool initiative designed to inspire Ugandans from various fields and sectors, creating a platform for deep conversations about challenges and solutions. The aim is to identify motivators as a way to progress.
As a father of young adults, Bebe Cool emphasizes the importance of inspiring others and showing that things can be achieved regardless of one’s background. “I have children who are growing up, and me and my peers have grown up. We all need to motivate each other,” he says.
During the roundtable discussion, Bebe Cool shared a number of things that motivate him. For example, his desire to get his message out once led him to take a bus to Nairobi. He wanted to become the biggest dancehall artist, inspired by Jamaican maestro Buju Banton. However, unable to find a proper studio to achieve the sound he was seeking, he took the bus to Nairobi with nothing but hope and motivation.
“Motivation” is the second single off Bebe Cool’s highly anticipated album Break the Chains, which marks his venture into the now-global sensation of Afrobeats. Bebe Cool believes that since the world is currently listening to Afrobeats, it is better for artists to embrace the sound rather than resist it.
The audio and visuals for “Motivation” will be released this Friday.
