People Told Me I Would Lose My Fans If I Got Married – Sound Sultan
Naija
Ninja boss,Sound Sultan has been happily married for five years. But
that may not have happened if he had listened to advice from people who
told him marriage was a no-no for any male musician – it would chase
away female fans, apparently.
Speaking to Punch, Sultan recalls how so many people tried to discourage him from getting married saying…
“People
told me that if I got married I would lose my fans. It is just a saying
that they use to scare you from marriage in the industry. You would be
surprised how many American gangster rappers have wonderful families, so
don’t believe such talks. As far as you can shield your family from the
limelight you will do fine. The more you want to make a star out of all
of them, the more people begin to find out things and begin to talk and
of course nobody is perfect,” he said.
Recounting
how he proposed to his wife,Sultan whose real name is Lanre Fasasi,
said it was nothing special because they had been together for seven
years and so it was nothing strange when they eventually tied the knot.
“I
was reading a wedding magazine and I was ashamed to show my wife
because the person proposed with a helicopter. It wrote ‘will you marry
me’ in the sky as it was flying. For me, it was like a teleported thing,
we cannot even remember how it happened we just realised that we got
married. We courted for about seven years and we were good friends.
“I
have known her for 12 years and she is my friend and lover. It is just
like when friends want to go into something, they don’t make it formal. I
did not kneel to propose to my wife, if I knelt down she probably would
have been alarmed and forget that I wanted to propose. She is a natural
woman and very respectful and she is not my fan. She does not listen to
my music but helps me to build my dream.”
