Veteran Nigerian rapper, Anthonia Yetunde Alabi, aka Sasha P, has expressed concerns over the obsession with wealth in the country.

The 41-year-old lamented that Nigerians now use wealth to determine people’s value and treat rich folks like deities.

She explained that money does not determine a person’s character; rather, it amplifies it.

She remarked that responding to an affront in the country typically begins with a question of someone’s net worth, which she finds unbecoming.

On her X handle, Sasha P wrote, “I think we lost the plot when people began to determine your value by how much money you have. People worship money in Nigeria, and any apparent show of wealth, you get treated like some deity when, in actual fact, you can have so much money and still be far from wisdom!

“Money doesn’t automatically make you cool or good company to keep. It doesn’t excuse you from accountability or bestow you with emotional intelligence. It is an amplifier….your character will still be your destiny!

“So unbecoming when the first retort to an affront is “how much do you even have?’ Your self-worth should not be tied to your possessions.”
