ZerryDL, once considered an underdog, is solidifying his presence in the music scene with the release of his poignant new single, “My Amigo.”
You know that feeling when someone you trusted completely lets you down? That’s exactly what ZerryDL captures in “My Amigo.” The Benin-born artiste isn’t holding back, he’s serving up a brutally honest look at what happens when money and success come between friends.
This isn’t your typical feel-good Afrobeats anthem. ZerryDL is telling a story that hits close to home for so many young people trying to make it in Nigeria’s hustle culture. It’s happened time and again: that friend who changes when they start seeing some cash, or worse, when they actively work against you while chasing their own bag.
What makes this track special is how ZerryDL doesn’t just complain about betrayal, he wraps it in infectious rhythms that’ll have you nodding along even as the lyrics cut deep. His fans are already describing it as “melodic yet bouncy,” and that contrast between the upbeat sound and the painful subject matter is what makes it so compelling.
The song asks the questions everyone’s thinking but doesn’t always say out loud about making money and surviving in today’s economy. ZerryDL has managed to turn personal pain into something universal, a soundtrack for anyone who’s ever been burned by someone they called “amigo.”
It’s raw, it’s real and it’s exactly the kind of music that reminds you why street-smart storytelling will always have a place in Nigerian music. ZerryDL might have started as an underdog, but tracks like this prove he’s got something important to say.
“My Amigo” is now available on all streaming platforms and ZerryDL can be reached on Instagram & X.
