In Ivory Coast, rapper Suspect 95 revealed the biggest mistake he made with money. Money management is a topic that comes up frequently among artists.
Between modesty and bling-bling, each artist makes his choice according to his convictions and objectives.
For Suspect 95, while he recognizes the importance of having money, he nevertheless issued a warning:
“When you have a little money, you have less pressure, but unfortunately, in Africa, with religion, it’s: “No, money is not the goal of life…”
That’s true, but when you have money, it’s a form of freedom. There are pressures that you no longer have, so you still manage to sleep better.
But the biggest mistake I made with money was wanting to assume an image that I couldn’t maintain, that is to say a lifestyle that I couldn’t follow.
For a while I wasted a lot of money trying to live this lifestyle that wasn’t mine,” he said.
On the web, several Internet users have reacted. We can read comments like:
“Good awareness! We, the poor, when we say that money should not change the true nature of an intelligent man, we are told that we say that because we are poor”;
“There are also the people close to you who, when they see that you are managing to get by a little, they are the ones who impose on themselves the lifestyle that you must have! You must live in such a house, you must eat in such a place, you must wear such clothes, such shoes…”
