The video hit nearly 200,000 views in just 16 hours, proving Fatima is a force to be reckoned with in the music scene. But what’s really got fans talking? The unexpected guest star: Hollywood actor Robert Ri’chard.
A bold love song with a surprise twist
“Hello” is the latest single from Fatima’s chart-topping album Pwoteje m, and the video takes the heartfelt lyrics to a whole new level. Draped in a striking white blouse, red skirt, and matching red boots, Fatima delivers a passionate plea for love, singing:
“Hello kote ou ye? Tande bri ti kè m k ap chache ou. Hello kote ou ye? Kè mwen pran twòp tan pou l retwouve ou.”
Her emotional performance captures the vulnerability and resilience of someone who has endured heartbreak but refuses to give up on love.
The surprise comes when Ri’chard appears in the video, answering Fatima’s symbolic call. Known for his roles in Chocolate City, Empire, and The Vampire Diaries, the American actor plays the mysterious figure Fatima has been longing for. And yes, they share a steamy on-screen kiss, leaving fans wondering if the chemistry is just acting—or something more.
Fatima’s growing international success
The video’s release adds to the momentum Fatima has been building since the November 11 debut of her sophomore album Pwoteje m. The album, which features collaborations with Haitian music heavyweights like Phyllisia Ross, Oswald, and Kenny Haiti, has catapulted Fatima to new heights.
With its mix of soulful melodies and relatable lyrics, Pwoteje m climbed to the fifth spot on Apple Music’s Worldwide Charts, surpassing Kenny Haiti’s Time to Shine. This achievement underscores Fatima’s growing global appeal, as her sound resonates far beyond Haiti’s borders.
A message for the fans?
Fatima’s playful tweet after the video premiere—“Fen video Hello a se kòmansman yon lòt video 🙃”—has only fueled speculation. Could this be the start of a real-life romance between her and Ri’chard? Or is she teasing a follow-up project?
Fans are combing through the lyrics of Pwoteje m for clues, wondering if the album holds hints about Fatima’s love life. For now, her supporters are content to stream her music on repeat and enjoy the visuals of “Hello,” produced by Abdias Laguerre.
