Billionaire's Son Siraheem Exits Music, But He Still Owes Four Producers ₦150 Million.

Billionaire's Son Siraheem Exits Music, But He Still Owes Four Producers ₦150 Million.


In other news, Siraheem has decided that music is no longer worth his time, but his producers are yet to be convinced.



The son of billionaire industrialist Rasaq Okoya announced his exit from the music industry in an official statement on Wednesday, saying he can no longer give the craft the time and dedication it deserves. He described his years in music as "magical" and expressed gratitude to his fans and colleagues, but said he reached a point where he could no longer pour everything into his art.

He also hinted that his unreleased album, which he described as his best work yet, could still see the light of day eventually. His statement left the door open for a possible return, ending with the words, "Never say never".

But here is what the blogs did not tell you.



The real reason Siraheem is stepping away from music is not because of a lack of dedication. It is because he recently discovered that his favourite mechanic is better at producing music than he is. He took his car for a routine service, and the mechanic, who produces Afrobeat beats in his spare time, played him a demo that was so good that Siraheem decided to pack up his studio and start taking driving lessons instead. He figured that if a man who fixes engines can make better music than him, it is time to pursue a different career path. 


Edgar doesn't lie.
