Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has opened up about the impact fatherhood has had on his life and music career.
In a recent documentary by WeTalk Sound on the singer, Shmurda stated that his son has inspired him to be better. He also expressed his desire to create a legacy that his child would be proud of.
In the same announcement, he revealed that he shouldered a heart-wrenching loss in 2022 with the death of his child. Recounting the emotional turmoil, he wrote, “A few days to the drop of my album last year, I was an emotional and mental wreck. I’d just gotten to the UK where I was scheduled to do some promotional activities when I heard the news that I’d lost the child I was expecting at birth. I got the news that my little boy is here. I’m happy and blessed. What’s lost can never be replaced, but I have another chance, a new lease on life. A new purpose. I’m a new Daddy; DO NOT DISTURB.”
The world was fully introduced to the tot in November 2023 after Shmurda posted new pictures to his X page, two of which featured his son.
