Fola: The Rising Afrobeats Star Getting Co-signs from Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido
In the ever-evolving world of Afrobeats, one name is suddenly on everyone’s lips—Fola. This rising talent, newly signed to Bella Shmurda’s Dagbana Republic, is fast becoming a force to reckon with.
Recently, Fola received massive co-signs from Nigerian music royalty—Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido. Videos have been surfacing online showing these icons vibing to his music, smiling, nodding, and even dancing to unreleased tracks.
The most talked-about moment yet? A viral clip of Fola previewing an unreleased single titled “Lost” at Wizkid’s crib. The vibe was undeniable. Wizkid’s subtle head bob and approving grin said it all—this kid’s got it.
But Fola isn’t just living off co-signs—he’s backing it up with numbers and hits. He recently featured on a track with Zlatan, which quickly soared to the top of Nigeria’s Spotify chart. That’s no small feat for an artist this fresh.
Earlier this year, Fola dropped his debut project titled “What A Feeling.” It’s a confident, genre-blending body of work that showcases his unique sound and lyrical touch. The standout track “Who Does That?” featuring Bella Shmurda has already become a street anthem.
With his captivating voice, star-studded support, and a knack for hooks that stick, he has everything it takes to go global. His journey is just beginning, but his momentum is impossible to ignore.
If 2025 has a breakout star, it’s looking like it’ll be Fola. Keep your eyes—and playlists—on him.
