By Achimi Muktar

Nigerian superstar Davido has once again proven his knack for stirring the internet, this time by endorsing a trending song by fellow billionaire’s son, Raheem Subomi Okoya. The young artist, son of billionaire industrialist Rasaq Okoya, recently released a new track that has sparked heated debates across social media.

The Song That Set the Internet Ablaze

Raheem Okoya’s latest single hit the airwaves and quickly went viral, but not without controversy. While some listeners praised the boldness and creativity of the track, many netizens were far from impressed, taking to the comments section to voice their disapproval. Memes and critiques flooded platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, painting a mixed picture of the young artist’s debut.

Davido’s Surprising Reaction

Amid the backlash, music icon Davido entered the chat with an unexpected endorsement. Taking to the comment section of Raheem’s post, the Grammy-nominated 30BG boss declared the song a hit, writing, “Remix am ASAP!”

The support from Davido, himself a product of wealth and fame, immediately sent fans and critics into a frenzy. While some applauded the solidarity between Nigeria’s "rich kids," others questioned Davido’s motives, speculating whether his comment was genuine or simply playful banter.

Netizens Weigh In

Davido’s reaction added more fuel to the fire as fans shared polarized views:

“If OBO says it’s a hit, then it’s a hit!” one loyal fan declared.

“Even Davido is trolling at this point,” another user quipped, hinting at skepticism over his praise.

Raheem, however, seemed unbothered by the backlash, taking the spotlight in stride and hinting at upcoming plans for his budding music career.

From Billionaire Families to Music Stardom?

Both Davido and Raheem share a unique connection as scions of wealthy Nigerian families who have chosen to carve paths in entertainment. While Davido has firmly established himself as one of Africa’s biggest music exports, Raheem appears to be just starting his journey—and Davido’s endorsement may offer a much-needed boost.

Whether Davido’s confidence in Raheem’s track translates to mainstream success remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the internet is watching closely.

What’s Next for Raheem Okoya?

Following Davido’s public support, Raheem has hinted at a remix of the track. Could a collaboration between the two be on the horizon? Fans are already buzzing about the possibility, eagerly awaiting what’s next in this unfolding story of wealth, talent, and social media drama.

For now, Raheem Okoya’s song continues to trend, proving that in the world of music, any publicity is good publicity.
