Popular Nigerian indigenous rapper, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, known as Phyno, disclosed that during his early days as a musician, he was advised by acquaintances to engage in occult practices or join a cult as a means to achieve success in the music industry.
Phyno, who rejected this suggestion, emphasized that he never believed in taking shortcuts to attain success in the industry. Instead, he believed that hard work, dedication, and persistence were the key qualities that could lead him to success.
The 'Alobam' sensation cautioned aspiring musicians against hastily signing with any record label out of desperation without carefully scrutinizing the terms and conditions.
He stated:
"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.
“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.
“Young talents need to relax, do not be desperate about record deals or being in the spotlight. Keep working, when it’s time you’ll shine.
“Imagine begging a label to sign you, what kind of terms will they give you? They already know you are desperate and they will use you. At the beginning, you might not see it but give it time, you’ll regret it. Nothing pays more than hard work and consistency”.
