Nigerian street-hop singer, Bella Shmurda has spoken about the circumstances that caused him to learn to drive.
Bella Shmurda revealed in a recent interview with CNN Africa that he had to learn to drive in order to assist his mother with her company.
He stated that when he awoke one day, his mother needed a driver to help deliver items for her rental firm, so she forced him to learn to drive so he could help her with her business.
In his words;
I didn’t want to learn how to drive, My mummy had to force me, cause she used to have a rental company and nobody to drive. So my mum is like ‘Ki Lo n se’ (what’s happening?). As old as you are, you can’t drive.” Take Key! Try it”
Bella has had a great year with his music and the milestones he’s achieved, as he recently joined Wizkid to make history at London’s 02 Arena.
