Nigerian artist Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon, popularly known as Khaid, recently caused a stir online after revealing the staggering amount in his bank account. The 20-year-old singer, signed to Sydney Talker’s Neville Records, disclosed in a conversation with a friend that he has amassed hundreds of millions of naira, but surprisingly, he doesn’t take pride in his wealth.
Khaid’s unexpected humility shocked his friend, who expressed excitement about the singer’s impressive financial achievements at such a young age. Khaid, however, maintained that his current wealth is only the beginning of his financial journey and reiterated that money doesn’t equate to happiness.
This sentiment echoes the words of fellow Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold, who famously said, “Money is happiness.” While many online agree that wealth can be underwhelming after certain goals are met, others argue that financial security is essential before one can feel this way.

• @tekeelah_: “Okay, gimme only 10 from inside. You no go feel am!”
Khaid’s revelation not only highlights his rapid rise to fame and fortune but also sparks ongoing debates about the true value of money and happiness.
