"Raheem Okoya talking like a victim while sitting on a golden throne is peak comedy. You were born into billions and want applause for having a job handed to you executivei director at 22 is not hustle, it is inheritance with a title. Nobody hates you for working. They laugh because your “work” came with private jets and boardroom seats. Liking money is easy when you never struggled for rent food or school fees. Real hustlers start from ground not from daddy’s empire. Stop acting self made when your first step in life was already at the finish line."
@KingLeye_ shared:
