Asayel Captures the Tension of Self-Acceptance on 'Tbghaha Keef' Video

Saudi rapper Asayel has released a music video for her latest single, ‘Tbghaha Keef’, a cinematic portrayal by filmmaker Ahmed Lebleb, capturing the artist’s rocky journey to self-acceptance.

Set in an abandoned ancient house, the video features distorted, hazy cuts of Asayel being haunted by anonymous hands, eyes and smoke in every room she goes - representing visual metaphors for the suffocating emotional weight of navigating internal noise.

Towards the end of the video, the visuals alternate between atmospheric shots of Asayel breaking a mirror, standing in front of a sunlit window and others standing outside, surrounded by black-donned figures, signalling her denouement, learning how to sit with the past while simultaneously moving forward without trying to erase it.

Produced by Cymona, ‘Tbghaha Keef’ is a deeply introspective trap meditation on self-acceptance and inner conflicts, imbued with Asayel’s signature clever worldplay and smooth flows that defined her sound since her debut single ‘Asliyah’.
