Nigerian singer, Bella Shmurda, has stated that music goes beyond entertainment, noting that it also serves as a powerful tool for societal progress.
Speaking in the For Bunmi documentary, the ‘Cash App’ crooner described music as a form of warfare.
He explained that beyond entertainment, music serves as a tool for progress and also promotes 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 mindful of the kind of music he creates, as he wants his children to feel proud of his work when they grow up.
