Iyanya Denies Rumor Of Buying Four Cars In
One Day
Recently it was all over some media that Iyanya bought four
cars in one day, Pointing to the fleet of cars, neatly packed
in his Lekki, Lagos home, the Reality TV product is quick to
douse what he describes as false reports currently making
the rounds. talking from his own side in an interview with
punch, here is what he has to say about this.
"I didn't buy four cars in one day o. I only bought just one
which I posted on Instagram.
So I don't know where people got their own story from. We
have four cars in this house. I also do not get it when people
say we (artistes) show off on social media.
"I mean if God has blessed me, there is no reason to hide
that. We are not showing off. After all, everyone knows
Iyanya's story. Whenever I post pictures of my cars or
money on Instragram, the public should understand that it is
just my own way of saying if God can do it for me, He can
for you too."
"I am not half as appreciated in Nigeria as I am overseas. I
guess that is the many rewards that 'Kukere' has earned me
within a short period of time. The track is the most
requested of all my songs at home and abroad. The Soul
Train nomination was the icing on the cake for me, I felt
proud walking and sitting close to my role models at the
award ceremony. It was a life-changing moment for me," he
says.
"The truth is that I came up with Kukere to make money
because Nigerians were not listening to RnB . See where it
has gotten me today," he adds.
"I had to work harder because at some point things were
not moving well or fast for me. So it took me five years to
study the industry in order to understand what people really
wanted or expected of me. I remember I would walk on the
street and people would ask me what was going on, as
regards my career, when in reality I was doing RnB music but
people were not listening."
Since he became the butt of jokes online after he was
romantically linked to controversial actresses, Tonto Dikeh
and Yvonne Nelson, the singer appears to have learnt his
lesson. But is marriage in the cards for the star? "I'm
treading softly. I don't know what you are talking about o. I
am not thinking about that for now. I may sing Ukwu or Your
Waist, it is not because I am a bad boy. It is just what I am
inspired to sing at the time, mind you. I draw my inspiration
from God. Although I am known for the raunchy songs, I am
in fact a very deep and well grounded musician," he boasts.
Iyanya admits that he never imagined that he would become
a star in no time. But unlike some of his contemporaries, he
is still not too comfortable talking about his assets.
"I come from a very humble background and have also
struggled to be where I am. Since I achieved nothing by my
own strength or might, I don't think it is worth talking or
boasting about.
"I am also looking into investing in the oil and gas sector in
the New Year, because I feel investment is key. Artistes
must learn to invest because the fame is temporary and
sometimes a façade. Truth is you will not always be in the
spotlight and you may become bankrupt if you are careless
with funds."
