Singer Fola grinded his way out of Ibadan by managing his dad's betting shop before breaking into music. The artist talked about how he started playing in a high school band, but had zero resources to turn it into anything real back then. He did not even have his own phone at one point and had to borrow a friend's device just to make moves.
He eventually bounced to Lagos, where he linked up with the late Mohbad, who apparently put him on and connected him with Bella Shmurda. The two worked on a track back in 2022 without any formal paperwork or payment involved, and Bella ran it despite the massive difference in their profiles at the time. Fola credits Mohbad for opening doors that helped shape his career trajectory.
