If you’re into Indian hip-hop, M Zee Bella’s name probably rang a bell, and not always for the right reasons. 

This MTV Hustle champion was undeniably talented, but his love for drama? 

That was legendary too! For the longest time, it seemed like Bella was beefing with someone new every other month. 

But here’s the thing: people change, and Bella?

He’s living proof of that. 

He came back stronger, wiser, and ready to show everyone what he’s really made of. 

But how did we get here?

Let’s know how Bella became the good fella.

Going After the Big Names: Bella vs Ikka and Raftaar

“Maine chaand se rishte bigaade hai”: did he mean IKKA and RAFTAAR?

Remember when Bella decided to go at Ikka and Raftaar? 

These guys were legends in Indian hip-hop. 

They’d been around since the beginning and had mad respect in the scene. 

But Bella? He just went ahead and disrespected them.

Now, calling out senior artists wasn’t always wrong. 

Sometimes it was about pushing boundaries and making a statement. 

But with Bella, it felt different. It wasn’t like he had a major issue with them. 

He just… did it. And that’s where people started raising eyebrows.

And now? “Inspired mai dilin nair se par raftaar jaisa tez deemag nahi.”

The Live Stream Problem

Here’s something we all noticed: Bella loved going live when he was upset.

The moment something bothered him, boom! 

He was on Instagram Live or some other platform, talking about it while his emotions were running high.

This might have felt authentic in the moment, but it was also how situations blew up unnecessarily. 

When you’re reactive and emotional, you say things you might regret later.

 And in hip-hop, once you said something publicly, there was no taking it back easily.

When Friends Became Enemies: Bella vs Shetty Sha and King

This one hit differently because these weren’t just random artists; these were his friends. 

Bella had fallouts with both Shetty Sha and King, turning personal relationships into public drama.

Beefing with friends was always messy. 

There was history there, inside jokes, and shared experiences. 

When that went wrong and became public, it hurt everyone involved. 

Fans didn’t know who to support, and it made the whole scene look unprofessional.

The Emiway Situation: When Good Intentions Went Wrong

The beef with Emiway Bantai was probably the perfect example of Bella misreading a situation. 

Emiway gave him a shoutout, which in hip-hop culture was usually a sign of respect. 

But somehow, Bella took it the wrong way and decided to diss Emiway back.

Most people in the scene were confused. 

Why would you go after someone who was showing you love? 

Some fans thought Bella was trying to prove loyalty to King or just wanted attention. 

Either way, it made him look bad.

You can check out this Reddit discussion where people were still talking about what really went down.

“MAMA, I’M DISSING A GHOST”: The “Anonymous Beef”

Then there was this track where Bella was literally dissing someone anonymous. 

The title said it all; he was fighting a ghost! 

This kind of move just added to his reputation as someone who was always ready to beef, even when there was no clear target.

Round one, round two, multiple diss tracks aimed at… whom exactly? 

It was hard to take seriously when you didn’t even know who the beef was with.

Bella bhai thoda sa hint hi dedo!!!!!

The YS and Rap Demon Drama: Attack and Retreat

This situation showed another side of Bella’s pattern. 

He dropped multiple diss tracks targeting YS and Rap Demon. 

But then, plot twist, he deleted the tracks and seemed to back down from his position.

This attack-and-retreat pattern was confusing for fans. 

If you were going to start something, at least stand by it. 

Deleting tracks made it look like you either realised you were wrong or got scared of the consequences.

The Missing Music Problem

Here’s something that might be affecting Bella’s career more than the beefs: his licensing issues.

Tracks like ‘GMMTG’, ‘Home’, and ‘Glory of God, That’s the God I Know’ are either missing from Spotify and Apple Music or are only partially available. 

He is  solely focused on creating music, not on handling publishing and copyright matters

This is a real problem for any artist trying to build a fanbase.

If people cannot easily find your music on the major platforms, you are losing potential listeners every day.

So what was the Real Issue?

Look, Bella is talented. His win on MTV Hustle proved that. 

But talent alone cannot make a lasting career in hip-hop. 

The constant beefing in the past started to overshadow his music.

The pattern was clear:

• He reacted emotionally to situations
• He misunderstood intentions sometimes
• He went public with his feelings immediately
• He occasionally backed down later

But he is Bella! He saved us! He saved himself!

“Bella nahi karega bow down, maine bow down wale kaam nahi kre” , but he did bow down, because he knew he was wrong. 

Not absolutely wrong, but it takes real courage to admit your mistakes. 

And this is what made him the big man in the game.

Bella Came Back Strong!!

“Hustle wala bella kalakaar magar kalakaar tha vo sahi insaan nahi.”

Even after everything he did in the past, he stepped up and apologised. 

Sure, his actions and lifestyle back then could be called immature, but what really made him grow was how quickly he realised his mistakes. 

He came back stronger than ever, and yes, with a little ego, which, let’s be honest, is necessary when you’re at his level.

And trust me, Bella has proven them all wrong.

Today, he’s got tracks with King and solid relationships with Raftaar and Ikka. 

Not everyone buried the hatchet with him, but most of the big names did. 

That’s what real growth looks like.

The Last Line

Hip-hop always has beefs; it is a part of the culture. 

But successful artists know when to pick their battles and how to handle them professionally. 

At one point, Bella’s reputation was more about his drama than his music.

But he stepped back, focused on his craft, and chose his battles more carefully. 

Because at the end of the day, fans remember great music longer than they remember Twitter fights.

The transformation was real.

From someone who was constantly in controversies to an artist who learnt from his mistakes and rebuilt his relationships, that’s the Bella we see today. 

He proved that growth and maturity can win over past mistakes.

What do you think about Bella’s journey from controversial to comeback king? 

His story shows that it’s never too late to change and prove your critics wrong.

BELLA, GO PROVE THEM WRONG!
