Phyno Talks About the Struggles of Balancing Music and Marriage
Nigerian rapper and music sensation, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, better known as Phyno, has shared his candid thoughts on the challenges celebrities face when it comes to balancing marriage and a demanding career, especially in the music industry.
During a recent appearance on the In My Opinion podcast, Phyno opened up about the complexities of managing both marriage and a career in music.
The rapper, famous for hits like Alobam and Fada Fada, described music as a “jealous and tasking” career, explaining that the intense demands of the industry often make it difficult to maintain personal relationships.
He went on to elaborate, saying that, statistically, many celebrities’ careers begin to falter once they get married.
Phyno acknowledged that this might sound harsh but emphasized the unique pressures placed on musicians.
“Music is basically a jealous career,” he said.
“That’s why so many people drop out of school to focus on it.
The ones who manage to juggle both deserve a lot of credit because it’s not an easy task.”
“Sometimes, some people reach a certain level of fame, then they rush back to school, only to return to the music scene later,” he noted.
He emphasized the importance of focusing on one thing at a time, especially given the personal sacrifices involved in creating music.
“Music takes all your time. You can’t really focus on anything else when you’re in the thick of it.”
Phyno also touched on the personal nature of songwriting.
For artists who write their own music, the lyrics often reflect their own life experiences, including relationships.
“If you’re going through a tough time with a partner, you can’t realistically write about happiness,” he said.
“Your music is shaped by what you’re experiencing, unless you rely on songwriters, but even then, there’s still a personal touch.”
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
