Iyanya Says Fame Does Not Protect Celebrities from Struggles
Nigerian singer Iyanya is urging fans to be more understanding of what public figures go through, reminding them that fame does not make anyone immune to stress or emotional pain.
The “Kukere” star said that life in the spotlight can be overwhelming, describing it as both glamorous and demanding.
He explained that while celebrities may appear confident and successful, many quietly struggle with the expectations that come with constant public attention.
Iyanya also pointed out that male artistes often face an even steeper challenge.
Social pressure, he said, discourages them from showing emotion or asking for help, forcing many to deal with personal battles in silence.
For male celebrities, it is always difficult to bounce back after hitting a low point because men are wired to be stoic and not show vulnerability, Not to ask for help for fear of being seen as weak.
His message has opened up discussion online about the realities of fame and how society often overlooks the human side of celebrities.
Fans have praised his honesty and the reminder that success does not erase vulnerability.
