In his words, he said: “Every penny in my account today, is base on what I do, it’s my hard and my sweat.”

Speaking further, Raheem explained that although he has already made his own money through his work and determination, he is still not where he wants to be in life. However, he admitted that he is currently comfortable with his progress.

Mixed reactions trail his statement

His comments quickly went viral and drew many reactions from Nigerians online, with many people sharing different opinions about his statement.

One user, Big Tee, wrote: “Easy to say when you’re born into comfort. Even if you don’t touch your father’s wealth, the network, exposure & safety net are already privilege. Being ‘self-made’ hits different when there’s no backup plan.”

Another user, Favochino, commented: “I have no issues with this statement, I just want to know what he does to earn the money.”
