Barry Jhay says fame is very dangerous
Barry Jhay said he would rather be wealthy without being famous than have talent and popularity.
According to him, fame can become addictive and, if not handled carefully, eventually take over a person’s mind.
The singer also described himself as a “straight Nepo” because of his background as the son of a musician, but jokingly added that his reality now feels more like “Lappo.”
His father’s death, he said, changed his life and made the privilege of growing up around music a bittersweet experience.
Barry Jhay also opened up about having a three-year-old son and his desire to create a better future for his children.
He revealed that he can draw and paint and may showcase that side of himself if fans request it.
The singer further expressed interest in investing in mental-health awareness, saying the subject is not discussed enough.
Reflecting on a past controversy that deeply affected him, Barry said the experience broke him but also changed how he viewed life and people.
