Being celibate, a difficult task – Iyanya

Singer Iyanya has opened up about his constant struggle with staying celibate, revealing it’s a difficult task

In a conversation on the Afropolitan podcast, the singer explained that he often ends up with regrets whenever he broke his celibacy but struggles to stay consistent.

“My celibacy fluctuates; it goes up and down. Sometimes you are trying to stay celibate and you run into a girl who gives you all the reasons not to be celibate. You do what you have to do, you now start missing the celibacy again,” he explained.

The 39-year-old singer said he is not considering marriage now because he believes he is not yet mentally ready.

“I am not thinking of getting married… So, I am very honest when I meet people now. I think that is what has helped me a lot. When I meet you I don’t go, ‘Oh! I’m crazy about you.’ When I meet you I go, ‘Listen, I’m healing. Don’t expect so much from me.’

“Maybe, when I was younger, I wouldn’t mind, I would just say what you want to hear. But now what has really helped me a lot is just saying, ‘I’m not in that space and I’m not going to lie to you or play with your emotions’,” he added.
