Nigerian singer Akinbiyi Abiola Ahmed best known as Bella Shmurda has claimed he lost $4 million in an alleged real estate scam after purchasing a property in Lagos that he says was fraudulently sold to him.

Speaking during an Instagram Live session, the musician said he recently discovered that the house did not belong to the individual who sold it, prompting him to seek legal action.

Bella Shmurda disclosed that he has contacted his lawyer to investigate the transaction, alleging that the seller has since disappeared.

Appealing for support, the singer said the incident had wiped out his savings.

“I’ve got nothing left,” he said.

“Nigeria, I need your help. I am not okay right now. I lost $4 million of my hard-earned money to buy stolen property. The seller has disappeared. Please help me. I just contacted my lawyer for further investigation.”

The singer did not disclose the identity of the alleged seller or provide further details about the property. Authorities have yet to comment on the claim.
