In a profile published by Punch Newspapers, Taiwo Akintoye—formerly part of early-2000s duo Twin-X—has been positioned as a tech entrepreneur and product strategist after stepping away from music.
The story taps into a growing trend: entertainers leveraging visibility and networks to build careers in business and technology.
Also noted by Flexademic (Website): “Learn about Taiwo Akintoye… and his transition into… tech entrepreneur and product strategist…” (https://flexademic.com/)
Separately, Punch Newspapers (Website) reported: “…has quietly transitioned from music to technology…” (https://punchng.com/)
Echotitbits take: The credibility test for “celebrity-to-tech” isn’t vibes—it’s verifiable roles and shipped products. Watch for concrete portfolio details, public-facing projects, and whether he becomes a bridge for more music-to-tech partnerships in Nigeria.
