Fans on social media have challenged this Nigerian artist, claiming that after the release of his hit song "God Win," he seemingly disappeared, suggesting that the devil had "equalized" his success. However, many supporters have stepped up to defend him, emphasizing that Korede Bello is thriving as the Police Ambassador, despite his absence from the music scene. It seems he has intentionally shifted his focus from music to other ventures. Let’s delve into some compelling reasons for his current inactivity in the music world and uncover more details about his life. This insight is derived from a recent Instagram post  about his current activities.

The popular artist, known for hits like "Godwin" and "Do Like That," addressed fans who have been wondering about his recent absence from the public eye. 

Korede Bello revealed  that he has been taking time to focus on his mental and spiritual well-being, and that this journey has been instrumental in helping him find peace and clarity.

"Whenever I hear or see comments like “Where have you been ?" I'm always usually kind of surprised. Why? Because I've been here all along, with me, myself and I. I'm grateful that I don't have to ask myself “Korede, where are you ?” For it is better for the world to ask "Where have you been’ than for you to ask yourself “Who am I... where am I ?" Don't you know that you can be extremely rich and famous but lost inside your mind? I have come to realize that the more you connect with yourself the less the world connects with you. You think different, you act different because you are different. They might even say ‘Who do you think you are?...” But this hero's journey is so necessary because you cannot truly stand out until you stand out and become outstanding. When you truly find yourself, you find peace. And even though you may lose some things temporarily, what matters most is that you don't lose yourself, you're worth more than things that come and go. You ARE and will always BE. So my people, just because you don't experience the sunlight at night time doesn’t mean it's not shining where it is. Surely you will experience the light again when gravity spins you in my direction. I am Light. I am Akorede. Be Well".
