BELLA SHMURDA SPEAKS ON BABY MAMA's

Published By: flex ab 15th September, 2021 Afropop star, Akinbiyi Abiola Ahmed popularly known as Bella Shmurda has said he can’t stand the practice of having baby mamas due to his experiences in the past. The ‘Cash App’ crooner spoke in a recent interview wherein he reflected on his growing up, music career, and love life. According to him, his detest for baby mamas stems from the fact that he comes from a polygamous family where his father has four wives. Shmurda said happenings around him have also shown that while some are able to put up with having baby mamas, it has also ruined the lives of others. Related News Bella Shmurda drops sophomore EP ‘High Tension 2.0’ Bella Shmurda set to drop sophomore EP, 'High Tension 2.0' Teni, Omah Lay, others to perform at Africa Day concert The singer also said he cannot afford to repeat the “mistakes” of those who have experienced setbacks due to such a lifestyle. “I won’t be following the popular trend of getting a baby mama because growing up, listening to music and watching things like that, I have been able to see people’s mistakes, downfall and I have come to see the reasons for that,” he said. “Little things such as that are part of the reasons. Some are lucky, they have a lot of baby mamas and are still doing great, some are unlucky, they only have one baby mama and became ruined. “So, l don’t want to follow that path, coming from a polygamous home with four wives is another experience. I can’t make that mistake. So, at a point, I have to settle down but now I’m working and believe my future wife is out there
More than anything, Zinoleesky’s self-explanatory song titles have propped his extraordinary hit-making abilities in the industry. From Kilofeshe to Naira Marley and Ma Pariwo, the Marlian Label stand-out has managed to give credence to his singles with just titles that do more than enough in preparing listeners for what’s to come. Zinoleesky’s latest, Gone Far, is no different than its predecessors. Lugging just a couple of years experience as his claim to fame, ‘Gone Far’ does justice in declaring the singer’s superstar abilities which is a thing of his transcendent delivery style and a voice that grips as much as accompanying instrumentals, do. Fresh off his collaboration with Busiswa on the remix of hit, Kilofeshe, Zinoleesky is still in his Gqom loving phase. Over a sprightly bass beat produced by frequent collaborator, Timi Jay, he tells of his rise to the top, hinting at the very obvious and now cliche bumpy journey to fame, rife with doubt and disdain. For Zinoleesky however, his sturdiness isn’t solely native to his music but a shared feature that’s prominent in his relationship with family and friends, as noted in Gone Far. A storyteller with ears for mood-elevating music as evidenced in Ma Pariwo, Zinoleesky delivering fun and feelings on Gone Far, comes as no surprise. https://trendybeatz.com/download-mp3/16265/zinoleesky-gone-far https://www.six9ja.com/zinoleesky-gone-far-video/
