Nigerian rapper William Orioha, popularly known as 2Shotz, has advised Nigerians to work towards achieving financial stability, warning that poverty can expose individuals to ridicule, even from family members and friends.
The rapper made this known in a video shared on his Instagram page, where he emphasised the importance of having money and the freedom that comes with financial independence.
According to him, having money is not necessarily about accumulating millions but being able to afford basic necessities and make personal choices without depending on others.
“Do your best to have money. The worst thing that can happen to you is for you not to have. Poverty is not good. The person who said money isn’t good isn’t well,” he said.
Encouraging his followers to work hard, the rapper noted that financial stability gives individuals the freedom to make decisions and helps them avoid unnecessary disrespect.
“Hustle so you can make it. When you have money, it gives you the benefit of choice. And I am not talking about having millions in your account. Just have enough to be able to have at least two square meals, either as a man or a woman. Having money reduces ‘see finish’,” he added.
Speaking further, 2Shotz warned that financial difficulties could affect how people are treated by those closest to them.
“If you don’t have, the first people who will laugh at you will be your family members, and it will be extended to your friends,” he stated.
