Popular Nigerian socialite Obi Iyiegbu, also known as Obi Cubana, recently shared insights on wealth accumulation and generational dynamics.

He pointed out a societal shift where the offspring of yesterday’s rich now serve the children of yesterday’s poor, highlighting the cyclical nature of prosperity.

Pheelz: “Music is Divine, Not a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme”
Nigerian artist and producer Philip Kayode, popularly known as Pheelz, has expressed his belief that music should not be viewed as a get-rich-quick scheme, a perception held by some people.
He emphasized that music holds a deeper, more spiritual significance beyond financial gain.
According to Pheelz, music is a divine force that brings healing and serves as a connection to higher powers.
He further explained this idea on his X (formerly Twitter) account, where he shared his thoughts on the essence of music.
In his words, “Music is not a grind. It is not a hustle or a shortcut to wealth. Music is life, it is feeling, healing, and ultimately, music is God.”
In a separate post, Pheelz also shared his view on the music industry, distinguishing the art of music and the business side of it.
He suggested that while music itself is divine, the music business is humanity’s way of trying to commercialize something that stems from a higher power.
He described the music business as “man’s attempt to commodify God’s energy” while maintaining that the essence of music itself remains sacred.
This perspective is noteworthy in the context of Afrobeats, where many up-and-coming and established artists have often cited poverty and financial struggles as key motivations for their careers.
Pheelz’s message seems to offer a different approach, urging both artists and listeners to recognize music as a spiritual journey rather than just a means to financial success.
