Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has revealed that he nearly went bankrupt due to his former extravagant lifestyle.
Speaking in an interview with YouTuber Korty EO, the artist admitted that overspending and financially supporting friends contributed significantly to draining his resources.
“I used to have a lot of money but I rushed things. I wish I was wise then. I was just buying things extravagantly, things I eventually had no need for,” he said.
He further explained that he used to cater for several friends while living lavishly, a habit he now regrets.
“At this point, as I am getting new money, I have to think about every move I want to take. I was accommodating up to ten of my friends back then and we were all receiving female visitors. I bought three cars at once just so that my friends would go out with me in convoy. I was reckless,” he added.
The singer said the experience has reshaped his approach to money, urging others in the industry and his fans to be more financially disciplined.
