Halid Muslimović Says Fast Living and Risky Decisions Wiped Out His Millions

Halid Muslimović says the money he earned during the height of his music career did not stay with him. The folk singer, who was among the region’s major stars in the 1980s, recalled a time when his concerts filled large venues and brought in sums that could have secured the future of several generations. But in his account, the rewards of fame came with a cost. Muslimović said the pace of the entertainment business, a fast lifestyle and poor financial choices gradually eroded his fortune. “You earned enough in life for five generations, but the music scene and fast living carry a curse that quietly and unnoticed takes all your millions,” he said, describing how quickly wealth can disappear. The singer has also been in the public eye over legal disputes concerning money owed to a former partner. Those cases and the accusations surrounding them have drawn attention away from his music in recent years. Muslimović has maintained that justice will ultimately prevail, according to the report. Despite the losses, he said he does not dwell on the millions he once had. He considers keeping his family together more important than material comfort and says the setbacks taught him to be wiser. Today, he places greater value on peace of mind than luxury, while his songs continue to be remembered by listeners.
