Nigeria’s breakout hitmaker Shoday is giving us a full-circle moment as he releases “Shoday Kilode”, a witty, high-voltage single inspired by Poco Lee’s viral ad-lib from their street anthem “Hey Jago.” The result? A tune that feels both nostalgic and fresh, rooted in internet culture and elevated by melodic finesse.
Just last June, Shoday wrapped up an electric UK tour, lighting up clubs in London, Birmingham, and Manchester with performances that critics and fans alike called “next-level.” The street-pop demigod has officially earned his stripes as one of 2025’s most thrilling live performers.
While his energy on stage is constantly winning hearts, his genius for turning viral moments into cultural anthems is also widening his fanbase. “Shoday Kilode” ingeniously weaves the now-iconic adlib into a chorus that feels tailor-made for sing-alongs and TikTok remixes. It’s swagger, wit, and melody all rolled into one.
Reflecting on this wave of momentum, Shoday said: “This year has been crazy. After Hey Jago and my UK shows, I felt the energy shifting. Shoday Kilode? is my nod to that ad-lib moment—it just felt right to flip it into a full sound.”
As someone who’s consistently turned TikTok sparks into chart-worthy motions, Shoday sees this track as another step in building a sound that’s as emotionally impactful as it is memeable.
