Bella Shmurda, an emerging talent in the Nigerian music industry, recently expressed confidence in his abilities by stating that he believes he’s superior to several established Nigerian artists. He believes that some musicians have achieved success through luck rather than talent.
During a recent interview with Cool FM Nigeria in Lagos, Bella Shmurda shared that he doesn’t seek collaborations because he believes in his own musical prowess. He prefers to work with artists he has strong connections and relationships with.
He also recalled a past incident where a prominent artist turned down his collaboration request just before the release of a song. Despite the setback, Bella Shmurda remains determined to make a name for himself in the industry.
Quoting him, “I don’t like teasing people [about my upcoming collaborations]. I have an experience; I made song with this person and when I was going to release the song they were like, ‘Yo, he is not ready.’
“Me I’m that kind of person that doesn’t like to get backlash from people. Me gon I get talent pass you, you just get name pass me. You fit just get name pass me but I get talent pass you. Personally, I don’t like to chase people. So people I work with are people I have connection with and we have a good relationship. And if not that, I do my thing on my own.”
