Monday, April 13, 2026 - Nigerian singer Lekan Osifeso Junior, popularly known as Lojay, has revealed that his initial thought about being a pop star was an opportunity to womanise.
Speaking in an episode of the I Said What I Said podcast,
the Monalisa crooner explained that his perspective changed after he realised
that, to have a long and successful career, he needed a certain level of sexual
discipline.
“There is a lot of temptation in the music industry. You
will see a lot of things, but you are not meant to touch. I used to think I
would frolic with a lot of ladies because there are babes everywhere. But when
you have about 100 girls talking to you, that is when you need to cultivate
discipline.
“I realised if you want a long career like the Big 3, you
have to stay away from too many girls,” he said.
Lojay also revealed that one of his cultural shocks in the
music industry was that the lifestyles of other artists that used to entice him
when he was an underground artist were not as appealing when he got into the
mainstream.
He claimed that there is a lot more discipline in the music
industry than many assume, stressing that musicians are mindful of their words
and actions because they have reputations to protect.
He, however, admitted that his personality also helped him
to be more disciplined than most of his colleagues in terms of womanising and
extravagant lifestyle.
