Bella Shmurda Discusses His Music Struggles, Saying He Wishes Olamide Had Signed Him
Bella Shmurda has spoken candidly about his difficulties adjusting to life in the music business after becoming famous and his earlier desire to sign with Olamide’s YBNL record label.
Bella Shmurda discussed these and other topics with popular YouTuber Korty on her online series ‘Flow With Korty,’ and how he came into the spotlight with minimal experience in any areas of the music industry.
Reflecting on these times, he said; “At a point, I wished Olamide signed me cause everything was just rough for me. I (didn’t) know who to really ask, nobody to put me through.”
Having spent over three years in the music industry, Bella Shmurda noted how he has grown.
He claims that the knowledge he currently possesses would have improved him had he learned it earlier.
Talking about his growth, he said, “At least I know somethings now, if I’d known then, I’d be better off”.
He also said that he didn’t know anything about music at the time he went fully into it.

According to him, the only thing he knew how to do when he went fully into music was to sing.
