Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has opened up about the personal cost of fame, saying it has limited his freedom and placed heavy responsibilities on his shoulders.
In a recent vlog, the ‘Cash App’ crooner shared that while success came at 25, it hasn’t been entirely enjoyable. “I only enjoy the celebrity lifestyle just a little. When I wasn’t a celebrity, I used to be more free and hang out with friends. But now, it’s like I’m in a box,” he said.
Bella also revealed the weight of being his family’s primary provider: “I am the major breadwinner of my family, that comes with a lot of pressure. It’s hard. The money has got to keep coming if not, I’m in trouble.”
Despite the pressure, the singer said he always knew success was coming: “There’s this feeling. If you are going to make it, you will know and you won’t stop working. Naturally, you will be feeling it.”
