Famous Nigerian rapper, Phyno has commended the current era of parents for being more encouraging of their children’s talents, unlike the previous generation.
Speaking during his interview on theIn My Opinion Podcast, the award-winning musician reflected on his own experience, revealing that his parents initially did not support his musical aspirations when he first started.
He said:
“My parents didn’t support my career when I first started. It’s different now.”
He added,
“I think the generation after my parents understands what it means to support their children’s talent and knows that there is something special about a child who loves music, or a child who loves to play ball.”
The talented entertainer contrasted the two eras, highlighting how children in the past were often punished for pursuing their passions. He stated:
“Then, when parents come home and see you playing ball, they beat you and seize the ball and give you punishment. You understand me?”
Phyno commended today’s parents for recognising and nurturing their children’s gifts, whether in music, sports, acting or other areas. He explained further:
Phyno also acknowledged the shift in perception surrounding creative careers, saying,
“Different generations, you know and I also don’t blame my parents. I’m sure that the money in music now was never in music then.
They also look at people who did music back then as useless people. As people who just wanted to carry dreadlocks and walk around. But now everyone sees the talent and a gift to be shared to the world, and shout-out to this era of parents.”
