Phyno pointed out that many celebrities struggle to maintain their careers after getting married, with some experiencing significant setbacks.

“Check everybody, statistically, I feel so [most celebrities’ careers crash when they get married],” he remarked.

He explained that music often demands undivided attention, making it hard to juggle with marriage or even other professions.

“Music is tasking; it takes all your time,” he said, adding that those who successfully combine music with other pursuits deserve admiration.

Phyno also highlighted the emotional toll of the profession, particularly for artists who write their songs. “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’t be talking about happiness when you’ve got a girlfriend that’s stressing you,” he noted.

The rapper’s candid insights shed light on the complexities of balancing personal life with the high demands of a career in music, a challenge faced by many celebrities across various industries.
