Popular Nigerian singer, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, famously addressed as Iyanya, has disclosed that he would have committed suicide due to travails of fame in life if not for the quick intervention of his manager.
Iyanya made this disclosure during an interview with Taymesan, a.k.a. Temisan actor Emmanuel Ahwieh, on the most recent episode of the “Tea With Tay” podcast.
According to him, he would have been a dead man by now if not for the intervention of his manager, who suspected he was up to something, as he had earlier called severally and he (Iyanya) didn’t pick up.
He added that he had already bought the deadly substance he intended to consume to end his life before his manager interrupted him.
“I almost committed suicide, my manager stopped me; all of that stuff; madness. He had the master key; he had been calling me; I was not picking. He used the key to enter the room, and the first thing he did was to take the sniper from my side,” Iyanya narrated.
