Famous Nigerian musician, Akinbiyi Abiola Ahmed also known as Bella Shmurda, has uncovered that expert rapper, Olamide paid for the recording and video shoot of his breakout single ‘Vision 2020’.
He also stated that Poco Lee a famous dancer, and Zlatan Ibile played important roles in his early career.
In a recent Pulse interview, Bella said that the YBNL boss did more by promoting the song on his social media accounts.
He explained that he wasn’t signed to YBNL Nation, but Olamide still treated him like a signee would.
The ‘Cash App’ crooner recounted how Poco Lee linked him up with The Lagos Anthem crooner.
He claims that Poco, who was living on Lagos Island with Zlatan, begged the rapper to accommodate him, and the rapper did so.
Shmurda stated that Zlatan supported him and worked with him on a number of unreleased songs during his time working with him.
“Shoutout to Baddo . He was so supportive. He had to pay ID Cabasa for the reproduction of ‘Vision 2020’. He sorted my video. And even posting it more . He did everything he could do for Fireboy without me signing a paper.
“Poco Lee used to stay with Zlatan. I was in Mainland, and he was like, ‘Bella, come now we go just dey manage for here small small.’ And Zlatan, he received me with opened hands. Anything he is in the studio recording, he always calls me. He always gives me motivations.”
