The 28 year old Nigerian recording artist, singer, songwriter and performer has revealed in a recent interview with Punch that he would never date a female celebrity anymore, 'cause of the drama that comes with relationships like that. Here's a recap of what he had to say.
The talk about the kind of woman he would want to end up
with, he said: “A good woman is a good woman. You can’t just sit and say
this is the kind of woman I want. Some people think the best place
to get a girl is in the church; meanwhile, you can get the wrong girl
in the right place. Sometimes, I am worried about getting the right
woman to marry because of my status. I have had one or two women come
into my life and act like they are something. The safest thing to do is
marry someone you have known before you became a star.”
With the issue of his relationship with Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson he said: “Yvonne Nelson is an amazing person, but I would
never ever in my life date or have anything to do with a female star. I
am not cut out for that kind of drama.”
On his new personality: “People have the right to believe whatever
they want to. There is nobody in this world that would attain this level
of success and fame, and remain the same. My life has changed and I am
not going to tell you otherwise. I am not Iyanya of eight years ago; I
am more exposed and have more fans. You can’t compare the pressure that
was on me in 2008 to the pressure on me now. For me to even have this
level of sanity, I believe it is God’s grace and people should pray and
support me instead of saying I have changed. You see me wearing nice
suits but if I give a fan my life to live for a week, not everybody will
agree to continue after a few days.
“There is a lot of money but it comes with a lot of pressure. Imagine
waking up to people being rude to you on social media. You wake up to
curses because you tweeted that God just blessed you with a car, for
instance.”
On his showing off on social media, he said, “Sincerely, I don’t
show off. Anybody that thinks I show off is suffering from inferiority
complex. The only people that think I show off are those people that
think they could be me or people who wish they could be close to me but
can’t be. Maybe they like me too much and don’t want to agree they like
me that much. These same people spend hours admiring the posts I put up.That is what social media is for. It is only in Nigeria that people have
a problem with you posting pictures. While you are complaining that I
am posting too many pictures, a true fan is admiring same and considers
me as a mentor. Believe me, a lot of people think they know me, but they
don’t.”
