Iyanya almost committed suicide in 2020 because of financial stagnancy

The singer revealed this during an interview on the Tea With Tay Podcast, talking about the large blow he suffered after his cash inflow stopped. He narrated the series of events that spiraled into the low point he had in 2020.

It all started when he was sued by his former talent management for allegedly stealing a company car, and the court case dragged on for a full year. During that time, he was unable to make music, and hold performances or tours, so he suffered a stagnancy in income. Going on he narrated that he lost his home during his time in court because he could no longer pay his bills, as a result of this he was forced to stay in a hotel and contemplated killing himself.
