Mr Eazi has shared his approach to parenting, saying he plans to delay giving his child access to an iPhone despite its popularity.
PORT HARCOURT, RIVERS — Mr Eazi, the Nigerian Afrobeats singer and entrepreneur, has revealed that he will not allow his child to use an iPhone until at least one year after a new model is introduced. The music star made the remark during a recent conversation that has attracted widespread attention on social media.
According to Mr Eazi, the decision forms part of his parenting style and reflects his desire to limit children’s exposure to smartphones. He explained that while his child may have restricted access to a phone for educational or school-related activities, full access to an iPhone would have to wait. His comments have generated discussions among fans and parents about technology use among children.
The singer said children do not need unrestricted access to the latest smartphones at an early age. He noted that devices can serve educational purposes but suggested that parents should also consider the possible effects of excessive smartphone use. His remarks have been widely shared online, with many users expressing differing opinions on the issue.
Concerns about children’s screen time and smartphone usage have continued to attract attention worldwide. Many parents, educators and child development experts have encouraged balanced use of digital devices, particularly for younger children. Public figures have also increasingly shared their personal parenting choices, often leading to broader conversations about technology and family life.
The development means discussions around children’s access to smartphones and digital technology are likely to continue across Nigeria and beyond. As more families navigate the balance between education and responsible technology use, parenting decisions such as the one shared by Mr Eazi are expected to remain a topic of public interest and debate.
