Nigerian artist Bella Shmurda has opened up about how the passing of his close friend and collaborator, Mohbad, reshaped his outlook on life.

During a recent TikTok livestream with influencer Joblaq, Bella Shmurda explained that he is currently in a period of self-rediscovery, largely influenced by the tragic loss of Mohbad.

According to him, the incident brought a new sense of clarity to his life.

“Rest in peace, Mohbad. After his death, my mindset shifted completely. My perspective on life changed,” Shmurda said.

He further reflected on his parents’ words while growing up: “Back then, whenever we misbehaved, they would warn us, saying, ‘Don’t worry, one day you’ll understand.’ Now, I realize I’m at that stage of understanding. I’ve come to see things differently.”

It will be recalled that Mohbad died under controversial circumstances on September 12, 2023.
