I was advised to join cult or sacrifice something to boost my music career – Phyno 

Nigerian rapper, Chibuzo Nelson Azubuike popularly known as Phyno has sparked outrage with his shocking revelation about the music industry.

The father of one revealed that during his days as a struggling artiste in the industry, he was advised to join a cult or sacrifice something or someone for the price of fame.

According to the Enugu-born star he believed in himself, hard work, determination and patience were the basics ingredients to success.

The singer made this known in a recent interview while counselling young talents to avoid taking shortcuts to success. He future warned them to be wary of signing with just any record label out of desperation without properly reading the terms and conditions of the contract.

His words: “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.

Speaking further, Phyno advised young talents against desperacy, but to imbibe the spirit of hard work and patience.

“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”, Phyno added.

Many people have reacted to the singer’s statement noting how the industry is filled with dark sides.
