Bella Shmurda, the renowned Afrobeats sensation, recently opened up about his journey before achieving success in the music industry. Admitting to his deep passion for music, he revealed resorting to unconventional means to finance his dreams, including involvement in dubious activities like hijacking a tricycle.
This candid revelation came to light in a documentary titled ‘Bella Shmurda: Tension in Ibadan 2024.’ Additionally, Shmurda shared the challenges he faced, including signing a record deal driven by desperation, which ultimately proved unsuccessful.
Bella Shmurda said, “I shouldn’t have rushed. We will never get to see the future. So everybody is rushing. I went into some things that didn’t later pay off. I went to sign a deal with rush which later was funny.
“I stole keke (tricycle) because of money but Alhamdulilah, I’m here today.”
The singer said becoming a father has affected the kind of music he makes and visuals he puts out.
“Seeing my son, inspires me. What’s on my head is, ‘Wettin this boy go see in the next 10 years?’ I don’t want him to see my old videos. I want him to see a new Bella,” he added.
