Raheem Okoya Declares Financial Independence in Music

Raheem Okoya, the 22-year-old Executive Director of Eleganza Industries, has publicly addressed claims regarding his financial independence in a recent interview with BBC Yoruba. He emphasized that he earns his own money and is not living off his father's fortune, Rasaq Okoya, a prominent billionaire industrialist.

Raheem dismissed assumptions that he has an easy path in his music career, stating that he has worked hard to attract independent investors. He highlighted the values instilled in him by his father, who raised him to understand discipline and self-reliance, noting that his father was not born rich.

Raheem clarified that his rise in the music industry was a careful and planned process over ten years, not a sudden success. He acknowledged the scrutiny he faces due to his family's wealth but expressed pride in his father's mentorship and influence, particularly from Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, known as K1 De Ultimate.
