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 with Channel Tweety7, 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.”
