Popular Nigerian singer Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, widely known as Iyanya, has spoken candidly about his ongoing struggle with celibacy, admitting that maintaining the commitment has not been easy.
The 39-year-old artiste made the disclosure while speaking on the Afropolitan podcast, where he explained that his resolve to remain celibate often fluctuates, especially when faced with temptation.
“My celibacy fluctuates; it goes up and down. Sometimes you are trying to stay celibate and you run into a girl who gives you all the reasons not to be celibate. You do what you have to do, you now start missing the celibacy again,” he said.
Iyanya also revealed that marriage is not currently part of his plans, noting that he is focused on personal healing and self-growth.
“I am not thinking of getting married,” he said. “I am very honest when I meet people now. When I meet you, I say, ‘Listen, I’m healing. Don’t expect so much from me.’”
He added that being truthful about his emotional state has helped him avoid misleading others or hurting their feelings.
“Now, what has really helped me is saying, ‘I’m not in that space, and I’m not going to lie to you or play with your emotions,’” the singer explained.
