Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has revealed that his popular track Cash App was created with internet fraudsters, commonly called Yahoo boys, in mind.

When asked, “What inspired Cash App? Were you involved in Yahoo?” Shmurda explained, “It’s Yahoo in the sense that they [Yahoo boys] need to dance. People who hustle like that need something to make them happy because internet fraud is stressful and full of challenges.
