In the latest episode of Chude, the 36-year-old musician said his fears about marriage stemmed from his childhood experiences.
“I like to say it has a joke to my friends that one day someone will come out and say you forgot your baby somewhere,” he said.
“To be real here, I pray to God for a beautiful home. It’s not easy because my experiences as a child have made it difficult for me to just settle for anything.
“It’s not that I don’t want to get married or be in a serious relationship, but marriage is scary for me.
“At the end of the day, you just have to do it, but I don’t stop praying for a beautiful marriage and a beautiful home.
“When I got into the industry, I still didn’t understand it. So, I was still being the same guy thinking it’s okay to show people your girl which is fun.
“After a while, you will realize it is not healthy especially when you guys have not sorted your foundation out or you don’t have a grip on each other.
“For example, you fall in love with a female celebrity, and you try to change her. She’s going to be a rebel because the first thing to her is that she’s the queen out there and you just want to make her a housewife.
“The same thing with the guys, when you have to sacrifice your shows and tours to focus. It’s a whole lot of things and all I just want to do is to sort out my life before I start bringing a woman into it. I’m just trying to make sure I’m okay.”
In September 2021, Iyanya disclosed that “I am searching for a wife, not a girlfriend.”
The Afropop singer hit the limelight after winning the second edition of MTN Project Fame, a music talent show, in 2008.
