Anele Zondo Claims Her Crown In New Single ‘Royalty.’ Anele Zondo has entered a new chapter in her music career with the release of her latest single, Royalty. The Newcastle-born artist released the track on Wednesday, 23 September, following an announcement earlier this month in which she revealed the release date and encouraged fans to presave the song.
Royalty arrives as Anele Zondo continues to establish her music career under her birth name after previously performing as Ney The Bae. The artist has reset her streaming profiles and chosen to move forward as Anele Zondo, describing the transition as starting “from scratch” in hip-hop while remaining authentic to herself.
The new single follows a run of releases that have helped shape Zondo’s musical identity, including Whole City, which gained international streaming attention in 2025, and Bhampa, featuring Blue Pappi, released earlier this year.
Musically, Royalty brings an Afrobeat-inspired vibe into Zondo’s latest chapter, giving the track a rhythmic and contemporary feel while complementing its confident message. The sound adds another dimension to an artist who has continued to explore her identity and versatility through music.
The title Royalty also reflects the confidence that has become part of Zondo’s artistic identity. Her work has often drawn from themes of self-belief, cultural identity and personal expression, while her visuals have incorporated elements of Zulu heritage.
The release comes shortly after another major milestone for Zondo. In August, she was named Hip Hop Artist of the Year at the Basadi in Music Awards, adding another accolade to a career that spans music, television, acting and presenting. With Royalty, Zondo is now introducing audiences to a chapter that places her own name at the centre. The single is available on Spotify, Apple Music and other major digital streaming platforms.
