Raheem Okoya, the son of Nigerian billionaire Razaq Okoya and better known by his stage name Siraheem, appears to have closed one chapter and opened another entirely. On Friday, September 25, the socialite and former recording artist posted photographs from an active construction site, revealing that he has begun work on his very first warehouse project.

The pictures showed Raheem standing in an orange shirt amid a large steel-frame structure, with cleared ground and stacked beams visible in the background. Other shots displayed material samples and offered a wide interior view of the rising skeleton, with workers in action across the site.
"Grateful for the safety of every hand on site. The pace hasn't matched the vision, but we're moving. My first warehouse, thank you Allah," he wrote alongside the images.
Raheem's exit from music
The construction announcement arrives about a month after Siraheem formally stepped away from his music career in late August 2026. In his exit statement, he said the demands of balancing music with other responsibilities had grown too great, and he could no longer commit to the craft with the depth it deserved.
He expressed gratitude to his supporters and collaborators, hinting that an unreleased body of work could eventually see the light of day, while signalling his intention to pursue fresh creative and business interests.
Neither Siraheem nor Eleganza had issued a formal statement detailing the warehouse's location, size, or intended purpose as of Friday evening.

Billionaire Okoya speaks about his children
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that billionaire Rasaq Okoya explained his plans to hand over his business empire to his younger children from his last wife.
The billionaire businessman wants his younger children to learn the business early, so they do not repeat the mistakes made by some of their older siblings.
He stated that his children must acquire practical experience and discipline to ensure they secure the future of Eleganza Industrial City Limited.
