Iyanya opens up on struggles despite fame

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, popularly known as Iyanya, has opened up on some of the struggles men face despite being wealthy and famous.

Iyanya on his X page, revealed that some men in the entertainment industry suffer without asking for help due to societal expectations.

He added that celebrities struggle more to get back on their feet after hitting rock bottom

“Celebrities are humans with deep feelings and struggles like everyone else. Beyond the media glamorisation is a person simply yearning to be human like the rest of us. For male celebrities, there’s often an even deeper struggle to bounce back when one hits a low. Men are wired not to show weakness, not to ask for help, or they risk being called soft,” he wrote.
