Rapper Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, aka Phyno, has opened up on what he passed through before achieving fame.
According to him, during his wee days as a struggling artiste, he was advised to join a cult or engage in ritual if he wished to succeed in his career.
He stated this while counselling up-and-coming artists on ditch desperation and the so-called ‘easy’ road to success but rather strive genuinely to attain it.
Following the death of MohBad and the controversies surrounding the unfortunate event, the discourse about artists’ desperation for success, being signed to record labels that exploit and subject them to all forms of maltreatment when they attempt to leave, has gained waves online.
Ezege, as the rap star is also fondly called, advised young artists to checkmate their thirst for quick success and be weary of signing with just any record label out of desperation regardless of their terms and conditions, which are often unfavourable to the artists.
He explained that when some of these label bosses sense the desperation in these young talents, they capitalise on it and take undue advantage of them, making them sign contracts that’ll be to their detriment.
