Veteran afrobeats singer Baba Fryo has claimed that most musicians struggle to balance their careers and marriages due to a lack of understanding from their spouses.
In an interview on Honest Bunch podcast, Fryo said that many musicians thrive better when they’re unmarried, stating that the demands of their profession can be challenging for their partners to comprehend.
However, Baba Fryo noted that there are exceptions in musicians who have found success in both their careers and marriages.
He attributed this to having supportive spouses who understand and accept the demands of their profession.
He said: “Most musicians don’t enjoy marriage, except they are lying.
“They are not enjoying their marriages. Their spouses don’t understand their profession. Go and verify what I am saying.
“Most musicians thrive better when they are unmarried. It’s just a few of them who are still thriving after marriage maybe because their spouses already knew and accepted them for who they are.”
When it comes to his personal life, Baba Fryo claimed to have a pragmatic approach to relationships, stating that he doesn’t take women seriously due to the attention he receives because of his fame.
“I don’t take them too seriously because I know it was my fame that attracted them to me.
“I thank God that I’m able to manage women because it takes wisdom to handle women,” he said.
