Raheem Okoya, son of Nigerian industrialist, Rasaq Okoya has called an end to his short musical career, after giving his fans songs such as Iseoluwa, Soweto, Kowope, Brazil Bounce and others.
This is as Iceking Ochacho, son of Billionaire real estate mogul King Mohamed Usman Adah known as Ochacho continues to explore the music industry.
Professionally known as Sir Raheem, the 23-year-old made the announcement in an Instagram post on Wednesday, August 26, 2026 reflecting on his musical journey, 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.
In the post, he wrote: “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.
Expressing gratitude to his fans, he said: “To you, I owe that, and I’m grateful beyond words. My career began simply; music was a hobby I made with my boys to bond and connect before it was anything else.
“Over the past year, holding that alongside my other commitments has grown harder. I’ve always believed in giving everything my best, and I no longer feel I can give this craft the effort, patience, and dedication it truly deserves.
“So I owe it to my true fans, and to my colleagues in this industry, a professional exit. I have decided to stop putting out new music.”
He revealed that he intends to explore other creative ventures, while leaving open the possibility that some of the music he has already recorded could eventually be released.
“The best of me is yet to come. Music still remains therapeutic for me. With time, maybe the album finds its way into the world somehow after all. This past year, we’ve been locked in, and I believe I’m sitting on the best material of my career; it will be a shame to never share it.”
