He said he once believed that becoming a pop star would give him the freedom to have multiple romantic relationships, a mindset he had during his early days before fame.

Speaking on the I Said What I Said podcast, Lojay explained that his outlook shifted as he began to understand the demands of building a long-term music career and the discipline it requires.

According to him, rising fame comes with constant attention and distractions, especially from women, but he quickly realised the importance of self-control and focus.

He noted that although the industry exposes artistes to many temptations, not every opportunity should be acted on, stressing that discipline is key to staying relevant.

Lojay said that as his popularity grew and he started receiving attention from many people at once, he understood the need to manage it responsibly to protect his career.

He added that he now avoids excess distractions, saying that sustaining a long-term career requires focus similar to that of top industry figures.

The singer also reflected on his transition from an upcoming artiste to mainstream recognition, noting that some of the lifestyles he once admired do not appear the same from the inside.

He concluded that despite public perception, artistes are often more careful than people think, because maintaining a good image is crucial in the entertainment industry.

In a post shared on Instagram, Phyna said many of those attacking her for the procedure are only doing so because they cannot afford it themselves.

According to her, money plays a major role in shaping opinions on cosmetic surgery, adding that financial freedom influences lifestyle choices.

Phyna further claimed that criticisms directed at Big Brother Naija stars often come from a place of financial limitation, insisting that those condemning the procedure would likely do the same if they had the resources.

Her comments have since sparked renewed debate online about beauty standards, body enhancement, and the influence of wealth on personal choices.
