Why many reality TV winners don’t Thrive in music industry – Iyanya

In a recent interview with Hip TV, popular singer Iyanya, who rose to fame as the winner of Project Fame West Africa Season 1, shed light on why many reality TV show winners struggle to thrive after their victory.

According to Iyanya, a significant number of reality TV show winners never set out with the specific intention of becoming famous. Their success on these shows is often a stroke of luck, where they showcase their talent, and unexpectedly, they emerge victorious.

He explained that those contestants who advance further in their careers are usually the ones who had a clear vision and aspirations for stardom. These individuals had fervently prayed and hoped for a platform like the reality show, and once they won, they were determined not to let go of the opportunity.

In essence, Iyanya believes that it is the passion and dedication of the contestants that ultimately determine their success after winning a reality TV competition

 Iyanya delved further into the dynamics that can impact the post-winning journey of reality TV show contestants. He highlighted that while winning a reality show may bring momentary fame and attention, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee long-term success in the entertainment industry.

According to Iyanya, some winners might lack the necessary drive and ambition to sustain their newfound fame. They may have entered the competition without a clear roadmap for their future careers, simply taking a shot at the opportunity without fully understanding the demands and challenges that come with being a public figure.
