Omawumi’s “Mr. Sinnerman” is a socially conscious track from her 2019 album In Her Feelings, a reggae-infused commentary on self-inflicted societal issues in Nigeria, highlighting impatience, corruption, and injustice, urging self-reflection rather than blaming others, with a nostalgic vibe connecting to Nigerian music legends, while bearing a similar title but distinct from Nina Simone’s classic.
