Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has revealed that his celebrity status prevents him from repeating outfits he has already worn in public.
Speaking during an interview on Naija FM 102.7, the ‘Cash App’ crooner said that being a public figure comes with lifestyle expectations that often dictate his wardrobe choices.
“As an artist, as a popular figure, you know say this cloth wey I don wear like this, I no fit wear am again,” He said.
The singer’s comment drew reactions online, with many fans weighing in on the pressures that accompany fame and public image in the entertainment industry.
During the same interview, Bella Shmurda also addressed criticisms that Nigerian artists charge high performance fees, explaining that producing music is a costly process.
“Making an album alone, just paying producers and everyone I worked with, is about $100,000. Then I still have to shoot music videos, promote songs on the radio, TV, and online platforms. That’s a lot. If I go for a show and I don’t charge something beneficial to me in the long run or at least covers my cost of production, it’s not worth it. We’re not overcharging,” Bella explained.
Below are some of the comments;
“That’s on you, my guy. Cloth wey I buy with my money make I no wear am twice cause of wetin stranger go talk eh.”
“You can wear it twice, but you can’t snap with the same cloth twice.”
“That’s a self-imposed limitation. Nobody really sends anyone the way y’all make it look.“
“Una go just Dey set the bar high Dey go. Anyways if una tire, una go come down”
