Nigerian musician Iyanya has shared insights into how he has successfully maintained a positive presence in the entertainment industry for 17 years, emphasizing the importance of guidance in navigating fame.

 Speaking on a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, the singer explained that without mentors or trusted advisors, fame can quickly become dangerous and misleading.

“I have been able to maintain fame positively for 17 years because of guidance,” Iyanya said. He stressed that every celebrity or entertainer needs people in their lives to help them remain grounded and focused. According to him, fame can be fleeting, and without proper counsel, it is easy to become disconnected from reality. 

“You’re going to walk into a President’s office, he’s going to know your name, he’s going to sing your song, but it’s not real. The same guy, if you’re not popping two or three years later, is not going to remember you,” Iyanya noted.

The singer highlighted the importance of surrounding oneself with one to three trusted individuals who can provide both guidance and moral support. 

These people help celebrities make sound decisions, manage pressures, and remain humble despite public attention. For Iyanya, such relationships have been key to navigating the highs and lows of fame without losing focus on his personal and professional growth.

Iyanya’s advice extends beyond mere career management; he believes guidance is crucial in all phases of a celebrity’s life. 

He encouraged fellow entertainers to accept counsel, avoid taking criticism or praise too personally, and maintain a realistic perspective on fame. For him, guidance is the anchor that prevents success from becoming overwhelming or destructive.

Over the years, Iyanya has also opened up about the personal challenges that come with fame, including its impact on relationships and emotional well-being.

 Yet, his consistent approach to mentorship and advice has helped him stay relevant, focused, and resilient in an industry known for its rapid changes and fleeting attention.

Ultimately, Iyanya’s message is clear: fame without guidance is dangerous. By submitting to mentorship, staying grounded, and taking counsel from trusted advisors, entertainers can use their influence positively while avoiding the pitfalls that often come with public recognition.
