Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has showered praise on rising Afrobeats act Shoday, hailing his songwriting on Verily, one of the standout tracks from Bella’s forthcoming sophomore album, Sanity.
In an interview shared online on Monday, September 22, 2025, Bella spoke about the making of the project and the collaborators who helped bring it to life. He singled out Shoday for his lyrical depth, describing his contribution as proof of a strong “pen game.”
Released earlier as a single, Verily has already struck a chord with fans thanks to its emotional and introspective feel. Bella’s public acknowledgment of Shoday not only highlights the younger artist’s talent but also strengthens the bond between both musicians.
The recognition carries extra weight given Bella Shmurda’s standing in the industry. Since his 2022 debut album Hypertension and a string of EPs, he has earned a reputation for blending street-inspired music with meaningful storytelling. His new album Sanity is expected to build on that momentum, with Verily setting the tone as a fan favorite.
The interview clip, which has circulated widely, shows Bella Shmurda openly commending the artistry of Shoday further fueling anticipation for the album’s full release.
