In a video circulating online, the fan presented the artwork, but Bella Shmurda, on stage, declined the gift, explaining that he couldn’t accommodate it at home. While expressing gratitude for life and wishing peace for Mohbad, Bella offered the fan a significant prize before returning the portrait.
He stated in Yoruba: “You that brought this picture will be the same person to take it back because I can’t put this in my house, but I will give you money.”
