Popular singer Bella Shmurda has dismissed reports alleging that he lost $4 million in a Lagos property scam, describing the claims as fake.

The singer made the clarification in a series of posts shared on his Instagram Story on Friday, days after a viral report claimed he broke down in tears during an Instagram Live session over an alleged fraudulent property deal.

On the Instagram Live session he was said to have said “Nigeria, I need your help. I’m not doing okay right now. I spent $4 million of my own hard-earned money, only to find out I bought stolen property.”

But today in one of the posts, Bella Shmurda wrote, “Fake news!! I wasn’t scammed. Trust bloggers @ ur own Risk. Doing fine and happy. Peace & Love”

He also shared another Instagram Story with the caption, “4m$ keh?? This country no go sleep!!”, mocking the widespread reports about the alleged $4 million property scam.

The Instagram Live report, which was widely circulated online, claimed the singer became emotional during the session while appealing for help over the alleged loss.

The alleged incident sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many fans expressing concern over the singer’s welfare.

Subsequent reports quoting members of the singer’s camp also described the story as false, stating that the viral video being circulated online was an old clip from 2023 that had been taken out of context. (The PUNCH)
