Iyanya, the popular Afropop singer and songwriter, sheds light on why many reality show winners struggle to thrive in the entertainment industry. Having won 'Project Fame West Africa Season 1' himself, Iyanya believes that most reality stars don't have a strong desire to be famous or relevant. For those who do succeed, he attributes their triumph to a genuine passion for seeking the platform and making the most of the opportunity.
In his own words:
"Obviously, most people who win these reality shows don’t have any plans of being famous or anything. It just happened to them. Yeah, he has a nice voice, tried it and he won. So, I believe that the people who go further are the people who prayed for that platform. And they finally got it and they are like, 'I’m not going back from here.' That is how I look at it."
