Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda recently shared some thoughts about what it’s like to be famous. He said that being a celebrity isn’t always easy.

He explained that before he became well-known, he felt more free and less stressed. Fame brought a lot of new challenges for him.

In a recent chat with Channel Tweety7, Bella talked honestly about the hard parts of his life now that he is famous.

Bella also said he always believed he would be successful. He felt sure that his music career would grow.

“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 more free and hang out with friends. But now, it’s like I’m in a box,” he stated.

“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.”

On top of that, Bella said being a star means a lot of pressure. He has to work hard because many people in his family depend on him.

“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.
