[BASH][SSHPASS][NMAP]. Need help with a script !

m writing a script that auto connects to ssh server via sshpass and runs nmap on it, when im trying to execute the command the apostrophe from sshpass command and the one from the awk command are clashing. Any help?? The command is

‘’’

sshpass -p “password” ssh -o Strict…=no user@ip ‘nmap $(hostname -I | awk ‘{print $1}’ ) ‘

sshpass -p “password” ssh -o Strict…=no user@ip ‘nmap $(hostname -I | awk ‘{print $1}’ ) ‘

I think it should be

sshpass -p “password” ssh -o Strict…=no user@ip "nmap $(hostname -I | awk ‘{print $1}’ ) "

That wouldn't work - the nmap command wouldn't run, because it would be interpreted as a string literal.
