Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has officially confirmed that fast-rising artist Fola has joined his record label, Dangbana Republik.
Speaking during an interview with Naija 102 FM on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, the Cash App crooner cleared the air on rumours surrounding Fola’s status with the label.
“Fola is signed under Dangbana Republik; he’s with us, we’re family,” Bella said in Pidgin English, affirming the news.
The singer, whose real name is Abiola Ahmed Akinbiyi, revealed that his connection with Fola goes back several years before the official signing. “I’ve known Fola for over four years. He’s been with Dangbana Republik, always working with us,” Bella shared.
He explained that the decision to make the partnership official was driven by a genuine desire to support Fola’s career growth. “One day, I just decided with my team that it was time to support this boy in our own way. And to God be the glory, that little support turned into something big,” he said.
Bella Shmurda also emphasized that the label’s priority is to help Fola maintain creative freedom while guiding him professionally. “It’s about putting him on the right path, protecting his craft, and making sure he has liberty with his creativity,” he noted.
Fola has already been making waves in the Nigerian music scene, earning recognition for his collaboration with Bella Shmurda on Dangbana Riddim and his own hit track Alone featuring Bhadboi OML.
Wrapping up, Bella expressed his gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead. “I thank God for giving me that instinct to move forward with what I believe in. I’m happy, the team is happy, and Fola himself is happy, everybody’s happy,” he said with a smile.
