I was advised to join cult – Phyno

Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, better known by his stage name Phyno, recently shared a personal anecdote regarding the challenges he faced as a young artist in Nigeria’s music industry.

He revealed that during his struggling days, he received advice from individuals suggesting that he should consider joining a cult or involving himself in certain rituals in order to attain instant fame and success.

“Before many people heard of Phyno, I’d had songs that no one knew existed.“A couple of friends told me to blow, I must join a cult or sacrifice something or someone, I told them the price is too much. I’ll never do such.

“I believed in myself and the power of hard work, I started little and today I thank God,” he said.Phyno advised young artistes against desperation, but to imbibe the spirit of hard work and patience.The ‘Alobam’ crooner urged them to “keep working, when it’s time, you’ll shine.”

He warned young talents against accepting recording deals without considering the terms because of desperation, stressing that they would regret it in the long run.
