Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has stirred conversation online after revealing what many fans did not see coming: a supposed family link with fellow artist AG Baby.
Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) page, Bella Shmurda, whose real name is Abiola Ahmed Akinbiyi, shared that he recently discovered he is biologically related to the 39-year-old singer, popularly known as AG Baby.
In a brief but surprising post, he wrote:
“Just found out adekunleGOLD is my uncle, Iga Kosoko mo foh oo small world,”
The statement immediately caught fans’ attention, with many reacting in disbelief and curiosity about how the connection had gone unnoticed for so long. The phrase “Iga Kosoko,” referencing the Kosoko royal lineage in Lagos, has further fueled speculation about possible family roots.
As of the time of this report, Adekunle Gold has not publicly responded to the claim, leaving fans waiting to see whether he will confirm, clarify, or simply laugh it off.
For now, it’s yet another reminder that in the entertainment industry, especially in Nigeria, the world can indeed be a small place.

In other news, Bella Shmurda opened a small but revealing window into the making of his breakout hit, Cash App, and, according to him, its spark came from a rather unexpected source: the world of Yahoo boys.
In a candid chat with Clout Africa, the singer didn’t shy away from explaining where the idea came from.
He recalled observing a certain energy around young hustlers in that space and feeling compelled to create something that resonated with them, something that lifted their spirits and kept them moving.
For Bella, the process wasn’t calculated or deeply mapped out. The music simply arrived, as he described it, in that effortless, mystical way creatives often talk about.
“It is Yahoo in the sense that they have to dance,” he said, hinting at the vibe he wanted the track to give them. To him, even people navigating the roughest hustles deserve moments of joy. “These people who are hustling, you have to make them happy,” he added.
