Singer Bella Shmurda has opened up about the inspiration behind his popular song “Cash App”, revealing it was created for internet fraudsters, also known as Yahoo boys.
In an interview with Clout Africa, Shmurda explained that he decided to cater to this group by releasing a song that highlights their struggles and motivates them, acknowledging the challenges they face in their activities.
Shmurda stated, “It is Yahoo in the sense that they [Yahoo boys] have to dance. These people who are hustling, you have to make them happy.”
He emphasised that the song’s inspiration was natural and divine, saying, “The truth is, when it comes to inspiration, you don’t have any story behind it. It is natural; it just comes. It is God-given.”
“Cash App”, featuring Zlatan and Lincoln, was released in 2020 and became a hit in Nigeria and other African countries.
