The Nigerian music scene continues to produce stories shaped by persistence, timing, and belief in one’s craft, and the experience of Shoday is one of those narratives currently gaining attention. The fast-rising artist has opened up about how a simple act of consistent messaging eventually played a role in landing a major collaboration with one of Afrobeats’ most influential voices, Olamide.

In a recent interview clip that has spread widely across social media platforms, Shoday spoke candidly about his early attempts to get noticed by Olamide. According to him, the effort began in 2022, a period when he was still building his sound and trying to break into the mainstream. During that time, he frequently sent direct messages to the YBNL boss, hoping his music would eventually catch attention.

He described his approach as intentional and steady, stating that his messages were “frequent and unwavering.” For Shoday, it was not just about reaching out once or twice, but maintaining belief in his own work while consistently putting it in front of someone he respected deeply in the industry.

Looking back on those days, the singer admitted that the old messages might appear almost humorous now because of how persistent he was. However, he emphasized that the consistency came from a strong conviction that his sound deserved to be heard, even when recognition had not yet arrived.

That persistence has now transitioned into a defining moment in his career. Shoday and Olamide have officially collaborated on a new track titled “Come Kulosa,” which was produced by iam_soundz and released on April 30, 2026. Since its release, the song has begun to circulate widely, drawing attention from listeners who appreciate the blend of both artists’ styles.

Speaking about the collaboration, Shoday referred to it as a “full-circle moment.” He explained that Olamide eventually responded to his messages, and that response led to the recording of the song. He also shared that he had envisioned the rapper taking a more melodic direction on the record, a creative expectation that came to life during the process.

Beyond this collaboration, Shoday’s career trajectory has also been shaped by previous work with established artists such as Davido and Kizz Daniel. Each collaboration has contributed to his growing presence within the industry, positioning him as one of the emerging voices steadily gaining ground.

The conversation around his journey has extended beyond music circles, as many young creatives discuss the effort required to gain attention in a competitive industry. His story continues to circulate alongside similar experiences shared by other artists, including Mr Eazi, who have also spoken about the behind-the-scenes grind that precedes recognition.

For now, “Come Kulosa” stands as a significant milestone in Shoday’s career, reflecting how sustained effort and belief in one’s direction can eventually intersect with opportunity in the music world.
