‘I’m Not Thinking Of Serious Relationship Or Marriage Now’ – Singer Iyanya

Nigerian singer, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, better known as Iyanya, has declared that a serious romantic relationship or marriage is not his priority at the moment.

Naija News reports that the ‘Kukere’ hitmaker made this known in a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, stating that he might end up with any lady who agrees to the current terms.

According to the singer, his reason is because of the experience he had with past girlfriends who manipulated him and often threatened to tarnish his image whenever there was a misunderstanding.

Iyanya said those experiences traumatised him, and he has decided to embrace celibacy due to his struggles with committing to a relationship.

He said, “I’m not thinking of a serious relationship or marriage because I’m not mentally ready yet. If you are patient and stick around until I get to a convenient space, then we can do it.

“But for now, to be committed is one of the hardest things for me to do. Because I have been committed several times as a celebrity and each time, I got hurt.

“You know, when you are famous, you always have girlfriends who can’t wait to go to the blogs when you have misunderstandings.

“I’m human, too. It’s not possible for me to be in the music industry for 17 years and all I have been doing is playing games with women.

“Of course, I have emotions, so I’ve met people and fell in love them genuinely. But they always threatened me with going to the blogs whenever we have issues. That kind of made me develop commitment issue because it has happened several times.”
