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.
Nigerian actress Patience Ozokwor has spoken about parenting and shared advice with parents who overprotect and shield their children from the hardships of the real world.
The actress explained that excessive protection may not help children, as they may not learn how to cope with or adjust to life’s challenges. She reflected on her own approach to parenting and said “The fastest way to ruin a child’s life is to say you don’t want them to suffer the way you did.”
She added “When you’re gone, they may start fighting over your property. I told my son, ‘My house isn’t yours. Go and work for your own.’”
Priscilla Ojo and her husband, Juma Jux, have barred actress Lizzy Anjorin from posting about their son or about them on social media.

The order also restrains Anjorin from publishing or broadcasting content concerning the couple on her social media platforms.
It can be noted that the actress and Priscilla’s mother, Iyabo Ojo, have been in a public dispute, and it appears the situation remains quite serious.
