Phyno, the Nigerian rapper, has shared his thoughts on the impact of marriage on a music career.
In a recent episode of the ‘In My Opinion’ podcast, Phyno argued that marriage can affect a musician’s success.
When asked if he thinks marriage can hinder a person’s music career, the 38-year-old said, “check everybody. Statistically, I feel so. Music is a jealous career”.
The hitmaker also argued that many successful artistes have delayed or abandoned their education to focus on music.
“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 is not easy,” he said.
“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.”
Phyno, born Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, attributed the challenge to the emotional and experiential nature of music.
“Another thing about music is that it is what you pass through that you put into it, life experiences, except if you use songwriters,” he said.
“But if you write your songs, you can not be talking about happiness when you have got a girlfriend that’s stressing you.”
The rapper welcomed his first child in August 2023. Phyno, however, did not reveal the identity of the child’s mother.
