Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda is overjoyed to announce the birth of his son at a hospital in Nigeria.

The artist took to Instagram to share the exciting news, revealing that he is now a proud new father.

He added that the baby's arrival comes just days before the release of his much-anticipated new album.

Bella Shmurda's fans are delighted by the news and have been sending their congratulations to the new dad.

He said: “A few days to the drop of my album last year, I was an emotional and mental wreck.”

“I’d just gotten to the UK where I was scheduled to do some promotional activities when I heard the news that I’d lost the child I was expecting at birth.”

“At the same time, I started getting threats to my life. The mere fact that I was in the UK was an opportunity for certain people to hurt me, and I saw a video of a group of guys that had been sent to a location I was supposed to be to attack me there.”

“I was hurt, angry and confused. It was the darkest place I’d ever been in my life, but somehow, light found it’s way through to me in that tunnel.”

“It’s a few days to the drop of my project this year. This time, I got news that my little boy is here. I’m happy and blessed.”

“What’s lost can never be replaced, but I have another chance, a new lease on life. A new purpose. I’m a new Daddy; DO NOT DISTURB.”

Fans and well-wishers are thrilled for the singer, celebrating this dose of happiness in his life.
