Rwandan Chicago-based celebrated RnB/pop artiste, Benjamin Mugisha, commonly known as The Ben, has released a new video for his song Ntacyadutanya.

The song, which features Priscillah Umuratwa aka Princess Priscillah, was produced and directed by Lick Lick at Mo Music Studio.

The Ben is known for hit songs like Ko Nahindutse, Urabaruta, Africa Mama and Give It To Me, among others, which have dominated local airwaves. Princess Priscillah, also based in America, is popularly known for songs like Paradizo, featuring Meddy, and Icyo Mbarusha.

The video was filmed at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA.

"We also did some shooting in a town called Napa in California. The concept behind the video was to remind people what real love is and how it should be portrayed,” said The Ben.

He notes that the time and money put into it was worth it.

"The love that people have for this song is way beyond our expectations. We knew that the song was going to be a hit, but we didn’t know it would be this big,” he said.

He added that the audio is close to hitting 200,000 in just two months. "We are grateful to God and our fans. We hope it continues like this.”

The Ben continues to dominate local RnB music even though he is not based in the country.
