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.”
Nigerian rapper Zlatan Ibile has announced his upcoming wedding celebration with his longtime partner, Davita Lamai.
The couple revealed that their wedding celebration will take place on October 24, 2026, in a pre-wedding video shared on social media.
The video featured a voice-over from one of their children, who spoke about the love and support their parents have shown each other while reflecting on their family life.
Zlatan and Davita have been together for several years and share children. Their wedding announcement has since attracted congratulatory messages from fans, who are looking forward to the couple’s celebration.
The announcement comes after reports of a private civil ceremony earlier in 2026, with the upcoming event expected to mark another celebration of their union.
