Phyno discusses challenges of marriage for celebrities
Nigerian rapper Phyno calls music a “jealous career,” explaining why marriage often disrupts the careers of many celebrities.
Nigerian rapper Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, popularly known as Phyno, has shared his thoughts on the challenges celebrities face in balancing marriage with their demanding careers.
Speaking on a recent episode of the *In My Opinion* podcast, the *Alobam* crooner described music as a “jealous and tasking” profession that requires complete dedication.

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.

Nigerian actress Omoni Oboli reveals she has never considered ending her marriage despite early struggles, offering advice to young couples
Nigerian actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has revealed that she has never considered leaving her husband, Nnamdi Oboli, despite challenges in their marriage.
The couple, who tied the knot on 28 October 2000, recently appeared on an episode of *Pulse Fun Facts*, where they took turns answering intimate questions in the spirit of Valentine’s Day.
During the conversation, Nnamdi asked his wife, *“Have you ever had an ‘I’m done’ moment in our relationship, and how did you handle it?”* Without hesitation, Omoni responded, *“No, I’ve never.”*
However, the 46-year-old actress admitted that she has sometimes questioned getting married at a young age. *“I’ve had moments where I was like, ‘Why did I get married so early?’ but never ‘I’m done.’ Ever,”* she shared.
The couple reminisced about their early years together, revealing that frequent arguments characterised the start of their marriage. *“When we first got married, we quarrelled every single day. We quarrelled a lot. We quarrelled so much,”* Omoni recalled.
She attributed these misunderstandings to their lack of courtship before marriage, saying, *“It’s because we didn’t date. That’s what people don’t realise. We didn’t date. So, that first month, we were really just getting to know each other well.”*
Nnamdi playfully added, *“You thought it was a scam anyway.”* To which Omoni, laughing, replied, *“I was like, ‘You scammed me.’”*
Reflecting on their journey, Nnamdi offered some advice to young couples. He emphasised that marriage requires effort and responsibility. *“Marriage is a responsibility. You don’t go into a marriage expecting it to happen to you. You are not the third party in your marriage.
You are the relationship. It’s between two people; you have to make it work,”* he advised.
