Singer Bella Shmurda has spoken about his outlook on music, describing it as a force that goes beyond entertainment and plays a role in society.
Speaking in the For Bunmi documentary, the Cash App crooner described music as warfare.
He explained that music is a tool for progess as well as an instrument of goodwill.
“Music is warfare. Music is a tool for the society. Music is a tool of progress. Music is an instrument of goodwill. Music is a tool to keep people sane, to put them in the right state of mind, to make them dance away their sorrow, and to make them feel alive and self-conscious,” he explained.
Bella Shmurda added that fatherhood has significantly impacted his style of music.
He added that he is now more conscious about the kind of music he makes because he wants his children to be proud of his music when they grow up.
Bella Shmurda, whose real name is Akinbiyi Abiola Ahmed, rose to prominence with his breakout single Vision 2020 and later gained wider recognition with Cash App.
