Bella Shmurda, a Nigerian recording artiste has opened up on the downsides of fame, saying he now has less freedom than when he wasn’t a celebrity.
In a recent vlog with Channel Tweety7, the ‘Cash App’ hitmaker explained that he faces a lot of pressure as a celebrity and breadwinner of his family.
“I blew up at the age of 25. I only enjoy the celebrity lifestyle just a little. When I wasn’t a celebrity, I used to be freer and hang out with friends. But now, it’s like I’m in a box,” he stated.

Bella Shmurda said he knew he was going to be successful, stressing that he had always felt it.
“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,” the singer added.
