Famous Nigerian singer, Akinbiyi Abiola Ahmed aka Bella Shmurda, has revealed how he did some shady things during his days as a struggling artiste.

In a new documentary titled ˜Bella Shmurda: Tension in Ibadan 2024, he revealed that he hijacked a tricycle at some point to fund his music.

The singer said desperation also made him sign a record deal that didnt end well.

He said becoming a father had affected the kind of music he makes and visuals he puts out.

I should not have rushed. We will never get to see the future. So everybody is rushing. I went into some things that did not later pay off. I went to sign a deal with rush which later was funny.

I stole keke because of money but Alhamdulilah, I am here today.

Seeing my son inspires me. Whats on my head is, ˜Wettin this boy go see in the next 10 years? I dont want him to see my old videos. I want him to see a new Bella, he said.

Bella Shmurda rose to prominence in 2019 with the release of the song Vision 2020, and a follow-up remix which featured Olamide. (Daily Trust)
