Nigerian singer Iyanya has opened up about his personal struggles with celibacy, revealing in a recent interview that maintaining self-control around attractive women is a constant challenge.
Speaking on the Afropolitan podcast, the 39-year-old musician, famous for hits like Ur Waist, candidly admitted that his commitment to celibacy often fluctuates, and he sometimes gives in despite regretting it afterward.
“My celibacy fluctuates; it goes up and down,” Iyanya said. “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.”
His honesty highlighted the tension between personal values and natural human attraction, a theme that resonates with many individuals navigating relationships and self-restraint.
Iyanya also discussed his current views on marriage, explaining that he does not feel mentally ready for the institution at this stage of his life.
He emphasized that honesty has become central to his interactions with potential partners. “I am not thinking of getting married… So, I am very honest when I meet people now. I think that is what has helped me a lot. When I meet you I don’t go, ‘Oh! I’m crazy about you.’ When I meet you I go, ‘Listen, I’m healing. Don’t expect so much from me.’”
The singer noted that in his younger years, he might have said whatever someone wanted to hear, but maturity has taught him the importance of transparency.
“Maybe, when I was younger, I wouldn’t mind, I would just say what you want to hear. But now what has really helped me a lot is just saying, ‘I’m not in that space and I’m not going to lie to you or play with your emotions,’” he explained.
Iyanya’s openness about his personal struggles is part of a broader conversation about mental health, emotional honesty, and navigating personal boundaries in relationships.
His willingness to discuss celibacy, healing, and emotional self-awareness provides insight into the challenges public figures face when balancing personal values with societal expectations.
Fans have praised Iyanya for his honesty, noting that such conversations encourage young people to be introspective about their own relationships and choices.
The singer’s candor also sheds light on a common experience many people face: the difficulty of staying true to personal commitments while encountering real-life temptations.
Beyond his personal revelations, Iyanya remains active in the entertainment industry. He has been involved in music production, touring, and speaking publicly about various aspects of his life, including addressing controversies and celebrating achievements.
His openness about celibacy and self-healing demonstrates a level of vulnerability rarely seen among celebrities, making him relatable to fans worldwide.
As Iyanya continues to focus on personal growth and honesty in his relationships, he also signals that emotional readiness is as important as romantic involvement.
By sharing his journey, he provides a valuable perspective on patience, self-awareness, and the ongoing process of personal development, both for himself and for those who look up to him.
