Veteran Nigerian musician Baba Fryo has claimed that most musicians don’t enjoy marriage.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the veteran said, “Most musicians don’t enjoy marriage, except they are lying.
“They are not enjoying their marriages. Their spouses don’t understand their profession. Go and verify what I am saying.
“Most musicians thrive better when they are unmarried. It’s just a few of them who are still thriving after marriage maybe because their spouses already knew and accepted them for who they are.”

On how he handles the women in his life, Baba Fryo said, “I don’t take them too seriously because I know it was my fame that attracted them to me.
“I thank God that I’m able to manage women because it takes wisdom to handle women.”
Baba Fryo believes men in Africa do not cheat as they are allowed to have multiple women. He described cheating in romantic relationships as a Western phenomenon.
He buttressed that Africa is a polygamous society where men are culturally permitted to marry multiple women.
The ‘Dem Go Dey Pose’ crooner, however, said it doesn’t apply to women, arguing that a man becomes the “lord” of his wife once he pays her bride price.
“African men don’t cheat because African culture doesn’t condemn men cheating. It’s Western men who cheat,” he claimed.
“African traditions permit men to marry multiple wives. It’s women who can be held accountable for cheating because African men pay bride price. We don’t marry with flowers. We settle both families and community just to marry. After carrying out all the expensive marriage rites, won’t you see me as a lord over the woman?”
