Afrobeats star Bella Shmurda has opened up about nearly going bankrupt, admitting that his extravagant lifestyle and poor money management once pushed him to the brink.
In a candid interview with YouTuber Korty EO, Bella revealed that sponsoring his friends’ lavish habits drained his finances and forced him to learn tough lessons about responsibility.
“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. At this point, as I am getting new money, I have to think about every move I want to take,” he said.
The singer recalled accommodating up to ten friends at once, with constant visitors and outings. “I bought three cars at once just so that my friends would go out with me in convoy. I was reckless,” he admitted.
Reflecting on those choices, Bella explained that his past mistakes reshaped how he now approaches money, urging fans and fellow artists to be more cautious. He emphasized that financial discipline is essential to avoid bankruptcy or painful lessons.
