Siraheem quits music despite calling unreleased tracks his best work

Siraheem, son of businessman Olawale Okoya, announced on social media that he is stepping away from releasing new music, describing it as a professional exit from the industry. He said his music journey began as a hobby with friends before becoming a serious creative pursuit, but balancing it with other commitments has grown increasingly difficult over the past year. Despite quitting, Siraheem revealed he has recorded what he considers the best material of his career and feels it would be a shame never to share it. He thanked fans and colleagues for their support and said he plans to explore other creative fields while leaving the door open for a future album, adding "Who knows what the future still holds? Never say never." Siraheem also noted that music will remain therapeutic for him personally. The announcement comes amid a wave of personal projects from Nigeria’s entertainment elite, raising questions about how artists manage creative output alongside business and family responsibilities. Will fans respect his decision to step back, or will they urge him to release the unreleased tracks he calls his strongest work yet?
