Renowned Nigerian indigenous rapper, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, famously known as Phyno, has come forward with revelations from his early years in the music industry, shedding light on the challenging choices presented to him by acquaintances during his ascent to fame.
Phyno, a prominent figure in the hip-hop music scene, disclosed the disheartening advice he received when he was a burgeoning artist, as a cautionary tale for budding musicians tempted to take shortcuts to achieve success. He emphasized that during his journey, individuals suggested that he join a cult or partake in rituals as a means to propel his music career forward.
However, the celebrated artist firmly rejected such offers, firmly believing that success in the industry should be earned through hard work, dedication, and perseverance rather than illicit means. He stressed the importance of maintaining faith in oneself and cultivating the necessary qualities that pave the way to success.
The ‘Alobam’ hitmaker further cautioned aspiring musicians about hastily signing deals with record companies driven by desperation, urging them to thoroughly review and evaluate terms and conditions before committing. He recounted his own experiences, emphasizing that it’s crucial not to be enticed by immediate fame and to prioritize their craft, with success naturally following in due time.
“Some people look at us today and think we got it easy, Not at all. I’ve never loved easy things. Before many people heard of Phyno, I’d had songs that no one knew existed,” Phyno stated, reflecting on the arduous journey to stardom. He shared his gratitude for the progress he has made and urged emerging talents to persevere, underscoring the value of hard work and consistency in the pursuit of a successful music career.
