Veteran Nigerian singer Sunny Neji has said musicians who perform love and relationship-themed songs often face temptation from female admirers, including married women.
Speaking during a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, the music veteran said married women are naturally attracted to artists known for romantic songs.
Neji made the remarks while reacting to the controversy surrounding an alleged affair between a Nigerian musician and the wife of a popular media personality, a situation reportedly linked to the couple’s divorce.
According to him, attraction from fans is common for singers in the romance genre, but artists must exercise discipline and avoid getting involved in inappropriate relationships.
“If you are an artist who sings love and relationship-based songs, married women will naturally be drawn to you. That is normal, but what happens next depends on the choices you make. It is left for you to be disciplined and avoid temptations,” he said.
This comes amid the recent controversy that surrounds Nigerian musician Chike and Sandra, the estranged wife of media personality Frank Edoho.
Recall that audio conversion emerged of Sandra in a romantic talk with Chike, which stirred reactions on X.
