People Told me That if I Got Married I Would Lose my Fans – Sound Sultan

Lanre Fasasi popularly known as Sound Sultan, spoke to Punch recently, and revealed how he was discouraged from getting married, five years ago.

The “Natural Something’ singer, had this to say:

“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,”.

The singer who courted his wife, seven years before they got married said there was nothing special about the proposal;

“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.”

Does marriage really get in the way of fame or greatness?
