In an exclusive interview with BBC News Yoruba, Raheem emphasized his personal earnings and external backing.
“I’m not just spending the chairman’s money; I work. I earn a salary. I have investors. People believe in my music and put money behind it,” he said.
He revealed spending ten years understudying his father, who deliberately taught his children enterprise and financial discipline.
“I’ve been learning this position my whole life… It’s been 10 years in the making. My dad wasn’t born rich. He wants his kids to also be able to work and build a fortune rather than just spend and destroy,” Raheem explained.
Passionate about music, he credits Fuji legend King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal as a major influence from childhood.
“K1 is a legend. He used to ring in the corridors of my house,” he recalled.
Above all, his drive remains simple: “I love my dad so much… I just hope I can really, really make him proud one day.”
Raheem also criticised media portrayals that cast him as a villain.
“I hate fake news. The media likes to put me up as a villain… It’s not nice. It’s painful,” he said.
