Nigerian recording artiste, Kingsley Okonkwo, who is better known as Kcee, has stated that contrary to the opinion of most fans, he has been wealthy prior to the prominence of his brother, E-Money, whose real name is Emeka Okonkwo.
He explained that he achieved financial success before E-Money, stressing that the business mogul used to be his manager.
He said that the businessman now has more money than him and has invested in his career.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, Kcee said, “E-Money used to be my manager. When I blew up as KC-Prech, he used to be our manager. I made money before him. I was among those who sponsored his wedding. Then he started making money, making more money.”
“The number of years I have put into music, if I had put into a business, I would have been ten times richer than I am. E-Money has businesses that consistently bring in returns. But we as artists live flashy lives… Sometimes, a hit comes; sometimes, a hit doesn’t come.”
“Having said that, my relationship with E-Money goes way back. My mum told me that when he was born, I held his hand and shed tears of joy. I stayed with baby E-Money at the hospital for three days… Growing up, it was always me and him.”
“The relationship grew so big and strong that I started shouting ‘E-Money’ in my songs. I named him E-Money. I used to be K-Money, there was P-Money (which is Prech), then there’s E-Money. Then, he was our manager, he wasn’t wealthy. We called the money into existence. And when the money came, he continued to be known as E-Money. On my songs, I was shouting ‘E-Money’; most people thought I was the E-Money until he started gaining visibility.”
The singer said some people have approached him, asking him to stop promoting his brother E-Money in his songs, fearing that E-Money may become more popular than him. However, he refused to be jealous.
