Raheem, the Nigerian singer and son of billionaire industrialist Razaq Okoya, has announced his decision to quit releasing new music.
Professionally known as Sir Raheem, the 23-year-old made the announcement in a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday, reflecting on his musical journey and explaining that his other commitments had made it increasingly difficult to give music the attention he believes it deserves.
Raheem said his music career began as a hobby with friends before growing into a professional pursuit that brought memorable performances and recognition from artistes he admired.
“Over the past couple of years, my musical journey has truly been a magical one; we’ve shut down the internet again and again, performed at the craziest live shows, lived through nights I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. I never imagined I’d one day be recognised by the very artists I grew up admiring,” he wrote.
