"Most Musicians Thrive Better When Unmarried" - Baba Fryo

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

‎Veteran Nigerian singer, Friday Igwe, popularly known as Baba Fryo, has stated that many musicians do not enjoy marriage.


‎According to the veteran star, lack of enjoyment in musicians' marriage is down to lack of understanding about their profession from their wives.


‎He added that most musicians thrive better when unmarried, stressing that there are only few exceptions in the music industry.


‎He also revealed that he doesn't take the women in his life seriously, noting that they were attracted to him because of the fame.


‎Baba Fryo made this revelation while speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast.


‎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.”



‎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.”
