Nigerian Afrobeats artist Bella Shmurda has revealed that if he hadn’t pursued a music career, he would likely have become a preacher or motivational speaker.

The Triumphant singer shared that he strongly believes preaching is his true calling.

He made this revelation during a recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast hosted by Joey Akan.

He said, “Everybody has spirituality, you just have to discover it. I feel like if I wasn’t an artist, I might be a preacher or motivational speaker. I feel like that is my purpose, and I’ve been trying to implement it in every of my music.

“If I wasn’t doing music, I would have been a motivational speaker. I easily cheer people up. I easily get to people’s deep part. And I feel like that’s my purpose.

“That’s why I am here. And I should also reflect in my music. You can’t take that away from my music.

“I can’t do without it. When I’m writing, spirituality has to be there. Even in my voice, you can feel it.”
