From Instagram covers to the charts, Berri-Tiga’s rise has been anything but accidental. Since his breakout moment with the viral Machala, the Nigerian singer-songwriter—born Agada Obotu—has built a reputation for tender melodies and emotional vulnerability. Now, fresh off his debut project Blessed, he teams up with emerging star Shoday for “Mind”, a smooth Afro-fusion duet that doubles as a love letter set to rhythm.
“Mind” is a melodic confession—a song that doesn’t shout its message but lets it sink in softly. Berri-Tiga and Shoday glide over the beat with chemistry that feels instinctive, each voice melting into the other like thoughts shared at midnight. Their verses speak of love that’s all-consuming yet comforting, passionate yet peaceful.
Lines like “I don scatter rock of ages, just for you my baby” reveal Berri-Tiga’s playful yet poignant penmanship. It’s romantic hyperbole, laced with gospel metaphors, and it works. He leans into the classic Afrobeat trope of material devotion—“I go buy you new Mercedes, or shey na Bentley”—but does so with an ease that feels more sincere than showy.
“It’s a feel-good song, but it’s also very real,” Berri-Tiga explains. “When you love someone deeply, you think about them constantly. ‘Mind’ is just my way of turning those feelings into something you can vibe to.” And vibe it does.
With “Mind,” Berri-Tiga continues to cement his place among Nigeria’s most promising new acts. The track doesn’t chase virality; it settles into your chest and stays there, unbothered and unforgettable. It’s love, bottled in melody—and proof that Berri-Tiga is thinking with both his head and his heart.
