Nigerian artiste, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk,has talked about how his bankruptcy in 2020 nearly led to his suicide.
He claimed he lost his home and was living in a hotel at the time, but eventually found himself unable to pay the expenses.
At that time, his old management, Temple Management corporate, filed a lawsuit against him for allegedly “stealing” a corporate vehicle.
Iyanya gave this narration while appearing as a guest on the most recent Tea With Tay podcast, which is presented by the actor Temisan Emmanuel Ahwieh, better known by his stage name Taymesan.
He said, “I was in court for a long time, I didn’t do shows. I couldn’t do anything. You know, when you stopped doing show, you now have to fall back on your savings. But when you are popping, that inflow [of money] is different, the way you spend is different from the way you spend whatever you saved. So, I felt it.
“I got to a point where I was like, mehn, I need to start touring. That was a crazy period for me. Guess what, two days after my last court case, COVID-19 started. I was stalked. I was in a hotel. My house was gone. I was in the hotel for a very long time. It got to one point, I couldn’t pay for the hotel bills anymore.
