Popular Nigerian singer Abiola Akinbiyi, better known as Bella Shmurda, has claimed he was scammed after allegedly paying $4 million for a property in Lagos.
The singer said he recently found out that the house did not belong to the person who sold it to him.
He made the claim during an emotional Instagram Live session on Tuesday, where he broke down in tears and appealed for help.
Bella Shmurda said he was heartbroken over the situation and worried about losing the money he had worked hard to earn.
“Nigeria, I need your help. I’m not doing okay right now. I spent $4 million of my own hard-earned money, only to find out I bought stolen property,” he said.
The singer also claimed the person who sold him the property disappeared after collecting the payment.
“And now the seller has disappeared. Please, help me. Someone step in. I’ve got nothing left,” he said.
“I worked for years for this. I can’t lose $4 million like that.”
He, however, said he had contacted his lawyer to look into the matter.
“I just contacted my lawyer for further investigation,” he said.
Bella Shmurda did not reveal the identity of the seller or share more details about the property during the livestream.
