“It’s Like I’m in a Box” — Bella Shmurda Opens Up on Fame and Pressure

Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has shared candid insights into the emotional toll of fame, describing celebrity life as more pressure than pleasure.

In a recent interview with Channel Tweety7, the “Cash App” hitmaker reflected on the limitations and expectations that have come with his rise to stardom, which began at age 25.

“I used to be more free and hang out with friends. But now, it’s like I’m in a box,” he said, lamenting the loss of personal freedom due to public scrutiny and responsibility.

Shmurda also opened up about being the primary breadwinner for his family, a reality he described as both rewarding and stressful.

“The money has got to keep coming. If not, I’m in trouble,” he admitted, highlighting the financial pressures tied to his role.

Despite the challenges, the singer expressed unwavering belief in his journey.

“There’s this feeling. If you are going to make it, you will know and you won’t stop working,” he said, attributing his persistence to an inner conviction about his purpose and success.
