  "account": "Siraheem, the son of businessman and socialite Olawale Okoya, has announced his decision to cease releasing new music, despite claiming to have recorded his best material yet. The singer shared his announcement on social media, explaining his decision as a \"professional exit\" from the industry. Siraheem's journey into music began as a hobby with friends before evolving into a serious creative pursuit. However, balancing his music career with other commitments had become increasingly challenging over the past year. In his statement, Siraheem expressed that he could no longer provide the effort, patience, and dedication the craft deserved. He thanked his fans and colleagues for their support throughout his time in the music industry, stating that he owed it to them to make a professional exit. Despite this decision, Siraheem revealed that he had been working on music, which he believes is his strongest yet. He noted that it would be a shame not to share it, as he planned to explore other creative fields in the future. He did not completely rule out the possibility of releasing an album in the future, saying, \"Who knows what the future still holds? Never say never.\" Siraheem also emphasized that music would continue to be therapeutic for him, while extending his gratitude to his community for their support.",
