Iyanya Explains Why Male Celebs Struggle to Bounce Back
Nigerian singer Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, popularly known as Iyanya, has called on the public to show greater empathy towards celebrities, emphasizing that fame does not shield them from emotional or mental struggles.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the Your Waist crooner reflected on the pressures of living under constant public scrutiny, describing the experience as a “double-edged sword.”
“We need to understand that celebrities are human with deep emotions and struggles like everyone else.
Beyond the glamorization is simply a person wishing to be human like the rest of us,” Iyanya wrote.

The singer also highlighted how male celebrities often deal with even greater challenges, pointing to societal expectations that discourage men from expressing vulnerability.
“For male celebrities, it is always difficult to bounce back after hitting a low point because men are wired to be stoic and not show vulnerability, not to ask for help for fear of being seen as weak,” he added.
Iyanya’s message has resonated with many fans and industry observers, sparking conversations about mental health awareness and compassion for public figures.
