Singer, Abiola Ahmed Akinbiyi, popularly known as Bella Shmurda, has explained why he is tempted to leave music and opt for TikTok influencing.
The musician made this known during a live session with a colleague, Small Doctor.
Bella Shmurda stated that he watched a colleague withdraw about 500,000 from the site in a short period, which appeared to be more profitable than his profession.
He decided to become a full-fledged TikTok influencer and make easy money by just generating content and going live on the network, as well as receiving cashable tokens from supporters.
“He has withdrawn about N500K! I’m not releasing music again, even if I want to, I’d drop Lowlife. I want to be doing strictly TikTok.”
Small Doctor further urged him to make music and add the TikTok approach to it by recording live while on the platform.
He, however, rejected the idea, stating how privacy while recording his song is his way; other than being distracted by a crowd watching.
He said: “I like to do my music in a way without people around, It’s just money I am looking for now.”
