Popular Nigerian singer Iyanya has spoken candidly about his ongoing struggle with maintaining celibacy, admitting that his resolve often weakens when he meets attractive women.
The Ur Waist crooner made the revelation during a conversation on the Afropolitan podcast, where he described his celibacy journey as inconsistent and challenging. According to him, while he sometimes commits to staying celibate, temptation often derails his efforts, leaving him with mixed feelings afterward.
Iyanya explained that although he sometimes regrets breaking his celibacy, staying consistent remains difficult. He added that the experience often makes him miss the discipline he was trying to maintain in the first place.
The 39-year-old singer also revealed that he is not considering marriage at the moment, saying he does not feel mentally ready. He noted that maturity has taught him the importance of honesty in his relationships, stressing that he now clearly communicates his emotional state to people he meets.
According to Iyanya, being upfront about where he is in life has helped him avoid misleading others or playing with their emotions, a habit he admits he might not have avoided when he was younger.
