Nigerian singer, Korede Bello, recently stirred up online conversations with a tweet addressing his well-being. The untimely passing of singer Mohbad prompted Nigerians to reflect on famous celebrities who had seemingly retreated from the public eye.
Among these individuals was Korede Bello, a former signee of Don Jazzy's label. Concerned netizens began to inquire about his current status, prompting Korede to offer reassurance via a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
In his statement, Korede Bello not only affirmed that he was doing well but also expressed his reluctance to share personal struggles on the internet. He articulated his desire to shield his pain from being consumed as mere entertainment by the public.
This response came in response to a fan's inquiry about the singer's well-being and a suggestion that he had poured his heart into a song. Korede's words were poignant: "I am well, but even if I am not, I will not be on the Internet talking about it because I wouldn’t want people to consume my pain as entertainment. Beauty & Bliss, Thank you."
While some Nigerians were relieved to hear that Korede Bello was in good health, others interpreted his reply as a subtle and indirect plea for help.
User @Afemmy6440 shared his concern: "Omo. You can see pain inside his tweet. Korede Bello I knew that time of 'God win' is a happy boy. God no win again?? Bro, please stay strong. Everyone is going through one thing or the other."
