Nigerian rapper Chibuzo Nelson Azubuike, known in showbiz circles as Phyno, has charged young musicians to work hard to cement their name in the industry.
He also called on them not to become so desperate, as some people would take advantage of their desperation to make money from them.

Advising the young musicians in a social media post, Phyno said things were not rosy for him when he was starting, but he chose to work hard.
“Some people look at us today and think we got it easy. Not at all. In fact, I’ve never loved easy things. Before many people heard of Phyno, I’d had songs that no one knew existed,” he said.
The financial woman hitmaker stated that there were people who advised him to join the occult if his aim was to “blow” in the industry.
“A couple of friends told me to blow; I must join a cult or sacrifice something or someone. I told him the price is too much. I’ll never do such. I believed in myself and the power of hard work; I started little, and today I thank God,” he said.

Phyno then advised young colleagues to keep working and not seek short-cut to success; otherwise, they would pay a higher price and even regret their hasty decision.
“Young talents need to relax; do not be desperate about record deals or being in the spotlight. keep working; when it’s time, you’ll shine.”
“Imagine begging a label to sign you; what kind of terms will they give you? They already know you are desperate, and they will use you.”
“At the beginning, you might not see it, but give it time, you’ll regret it. Nothing pays more than hard work and consistency,” he added.
