Marriage Can Hinder Music Career— Phyno

Nigerian rapper and singer, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike popularly known as Phyno has shared his thoughts on being married as a singer.

Gatekeepers News reports that in a recent episode of ‘In My Opinion’ podcast, Phyno said that marriage can affect a musician’s success.

When asked if he thinks marriage can hinder a person’s music career, he said, “Check everybody. Statistically, I feel so. Music is a jealous career.”

The 38-year-old singer argued that many successful artists delayed or abandoned their education to focus on music.

He said, “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.”

“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 not be talking about happiness when you have got a girlfriend that’s stressing you.”

Phyno announced the birth of his first child in August 2023.
