'They advised me to join secret cult in order to blow' - Phyno reveals

Popular indigenous rapper, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, aka Phyno, has let a skeleton out of the bag.

According to him, while he was rising to the limelight, some people advised him to join a cult or partake in rituals if he wanted to be well known and impactful in the music industry.

Phyno made this known while giving young, aspiring music artists advice on taking shortcuts to success.

Phyno, further added that he declined the offer to join the cult because he believed that hard work, commitment, and persistence are what makes a person become truly successful.

He said: “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.

“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”.
