Bella recounted back when he borrowed money from his friend, Lati, to use to buy a laptop for ‘hustling’. According to the music star, he hustled for half a year and had nothing to show for it, so he felt God was trying to send him a message.

Bella explained that it was really surprising because even before he bought the laptop, he used to make small $100, $200, but all that changed after getting the big laptop.
