Bella Shmurda, a Nigerian artiste, has debunked reports claiming that he was drunk during a recent stage performance.
On Tuesday, several video clips had surfaced on social media platforms wherein the ‘Cash App’ crooner appeared to be performing at a show under the influence of alcohol.
Some of the reports had claimed that the videos were from his recent outing in Asaba, Delta state while others said it was from a show in Ibadan, Oyo state.
But reacting in a post on his Instagram story, the 23-year-old singer quashed the reports, stating that nothing of such happened.
“Be careful with false information. Verify your news before putting it out,” he wrote.
The fast-rising singer also took to his social media platforms to share a clip from his outing at the Oyo state capital to further buttress his point.
“My view of the show at Ibadan,” he had written in a terse post accompanying the video on his Twitter page which he also shared on Instagram.

The development has, however, ignited heated controversies on the microblogging platform with many Nigerians expressing mixed reactions over the matter.
While some users backed the singer, others stressed the need to checkmate him to avoid being influenced negatively by drugs and alcohol.
“Omo Bella Shmurda needs serious management, before drugs will ruin him, his show at Asaba was an eyesore, he was too high to even perform. Talent without good behaviours and good management will be a waste of talent at the end of the day,” a user wrote.
“Why are people dragging Bella Shmurda He demonstrated what he sings on stage You were dancing and yelling Cash App, the artiste that sang the song clearly went on stage intoxicated which his lyrics had spelt out Myopic for dragging him, He just personified his song on stage,” another user wrote.
Here is what others had to say:

This is a part of the video thay guy didn’t show you, first of Bella shmurda wasn’t as high as he portrayed him as he was really active and conscious of his environment, that part he was nodding his head, somebody down the stage was talking to him and he had to pause to respond. pic.twitter.com/wDhpJejZTn

The earlier Bella Shmurda knows that Nigerians get tired easily when you keep misbehaving, the better for him.
He should go and ask Naira Marley, that one can no longer pull the crowd he pulled during the reign of Soapy again. He released songs of recent and no one cared. Learn.
