DJ Tunez and Shoday link up on “Na Money,” a new Afrobeats record that centers on the reality of everyday hustle.
The track pairs Starboy Entertainment’s in-house DJ with a singer who has spent the last few years proving he belongs in the mainstream. It arrives as a straightforward single, built around the idea that money answers a lot of questions.
Shoday, born Shodade Solomon Segun, did not take the usual path. He started out as a TikTok skit-maker, then spent two years posting daily snippets before “Caution” broke through in 2022. Later, “Paparazzi” with Fola hit number one on the Nigeria Top 100 and charted on the UK Afrobeats chart. His debut album HYBRID followed, with features from names like Kizz Daniel.
DJ Tunez, born Michael Babatunde Adeyinka, has been Wizkid’s official DJ and a core part of Starboy’s production engine since 2015. “Iskaba” with Wande Coal put him on the map in 2016. Records like “Pami” with Wizkid, Omah Lay, and Adekunle Gold showed he knows how to curate voices rather than just make beats.
“Na Money” follows that same formula. He picks the right voice, builds the right atmosphere, and lets the message do the rest. It makes sense for Afrobeats right now, because the scene rewards records that speak plainly about hustle.
