Before many people heard of Phyno, I\u2019d had songs that no one knew existed.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;A couple of friends told me to blow, I must join a cult or sacrifice something or someone, I told them the price is too much. I\u2019ll never do such. I believed in myself and the power of hard work, I started little and today I thank God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking further, Phyno advised young talents against desperacy, but to imbibe the spirit of hard work and patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYoung talents need to relax, do not be desperate about record deals or being in the spotlight. Keep working, when it\u2019s time you\u2019ll 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt the beginning, you might not see it but give it time, you\u2019ll regret it. Nothing pays more than hard work and consistency\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n                                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n                <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                         \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigerian rapper, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, known by his stage name Phyno, has revealed that during his days as a struggling artiste, he was advised to join a cult or engage in rituals if he wanted quick fame and success in his music career.
