Nigerian rapper Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, better known as Phyno, has opened up about his thoughts on celebrities navigating marriage alongside their demanding careers.
The singer and songwriter described music as a “jealous and tasking” profession, highlighting the immense challenge of balancing it with marriage or any other pursuit. According to him, the careers of many celebrities tend to falter once they tie the knot.
Speaking during a recent episode of the In My Opinion podcast, Phyno shared his perspective, saying:“Check everybody, statistically, I feel so(most celebrities’ careers crash when they get married).
“Music basically is a jealous career. That’s why people drop out of school to face music. The ones that had to juggle the two, you have to give them kudos because it’s not easy.
Sometimes, some people get to a certain fame level and rush back to school and come back to continue from where they stopped because you have to actually face one.
Music is tasking; it takes all your time.
“Another thing about music is that it is what you pass through that you put into it life experiences except if you use songwriters. But if you write your songs, you can’t be talking about happiness when you’ve got a girlfriend that’s stressing you.”
Phyno’s reflective take sheds light on the sacrifices and complexities tied to pursuing a career in music while maintaining a personal life.
