Afrobeats sensation Bella Shmurda is contemplating a bold move: abandoning his distinctive voice to explore a fresh sound. In a recent interview with Just Vibes, Shmurda expressed his desire to appeal to a broader audience by experimenting with a new style.

“I’m aware of my unique voice, but I don’t want to use it anymore. I’m eager to try a new sound,” Shmurda revealed.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2020 with his viral hit “Vision 2020,” Shmurda has maintained a consistent sound. However, he’s now considering a change, following in the footsteps of fellow Nigerian artists who have adapted their styles to reach global audiences.

Notably, Wizkid pioneered this trend with his 2017 Caribbean-infused project “Sounds From The Other Side.” Davido also attempted a sound shift in his 2018 EP “Son Of Mercy,” but later reverted to traditional Afrobeats. More recently, Rema, Fireboy DML, and Ayra Starr have also evolved their sounds to appeal to international listeners.

Big Brother Naija Season 9 housemate Sooj has raised eyebrows with comments that suggest a possible split from his partner, Nelly. During a recent conversation with housemates Topher and Anita, Sooj revealed his preference for a “clean” partner, which some interpret as a reaction to Nelly’s recent disclosures.

The conversation began when Nelly discussed her Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery and a tattoo on her arm. This led Sooj to ask whether having a tattoo affects one’s ability to donate blood, a query confirmed by Topher. In response, Sooj stated, “Then my wife must be clean,” a remark that has sparked speculation about his feelings toward Nelly’s choices.

This comment comes shortly after Sooj and Nelly had reconciled from a previous disagreement, adding to the tension surrounding their relationship. Fans are now questioning whether this is a sign of deeper issues between the couple.
