Is Bella’s dad a Studio Junkie?

Bella’s father, Lil, has confronted himself as a studio junkie. And how he spent his whole 24/7 time there. 

Lil added that he does not at all pick up his music. His team picks it up for him indeed. Further claiming, he is just there to record. 

Also, once they decide on a name, he starts to base all his music around the name of the album. 

Later, the host asked if the charges on him affected his work on music or how it helped him go into the studio? 

Lil, on it, replied that his mind is always the same while he visits the studio, whether it’s the story about him or the person next to him. 

Continuing it, Lil stated that he feels, not just with the case, but in his view, if you are in the limelight, you have a microscope on you anyway. 

Ending the talk saying it all depends upon you to f*ck it up or keep it going. He calmly replies that he just focused on making good music and related it with the people around. 

Little Bella is interested in Dancing

Bella, despite her age, seems quite interested in this entertainment business and in performing arts. 

No doubt, most celebrity child loves dancing. Besides that, Bella has shown her dancing talent in one of the YouTube videos uploaded on May 9, 2021. 

Bella was showing her dance steps on a rap song. Well, Bella might follow in her dad’s footsteps and be a dancer in her upcoming future. 

Unlike others, Bella is not present on social media either. We assume she prefers to enjoy the real world rather than being attentive to one of those digital platforms. 

If we look through the journey of Lil Durk, then social media has not only started his career in music but also has given some big hits all over. 

We assume Bella is the same in her upcoming professional journey too.
