Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has said that music goes beyond entertainment, describing it as a powerful force for social development.
Speaking in the For Bunmi documentary, the “Cash App” hitmaker referred to music as a form of warfare, emphasizing its deeper influence on society.
He explained that music is not only a means of promoting progress but also a channel for spreading goodwill and positive change.
“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 also said that fatherhood has greatly influenced his musical style. He noted that he is now more intentional about the kind of songs he creates, as he wants his children to be proud of his music when they grow up.
