Nigerian Afrobeats artist Mr Eazi, has sparked fresh conversations online after revealing her strict stance on children and smartphone use.
In a candid remark that has since gone viral, Mr Eazi shared that He would not allow His child to use an iPhone until at least one year after introduction, even though he may permit limited use for school-related purposes. According to him, the growing influence of social media and unrestricted internet access is a major concern for modern parents.
“I won’t let my child use an iPhone for at least a year. They can use it in school if needed, but I’m really scared of social media and Google because they can search for anything,” he explained.
Mr Eazi’s perspective highlights a more cautious approach to digital parenting. Instead of completely rejecting technology, He appears to advocate for controlled and delayed exposure, allowing children to build maturity before accessing the full internet experience.
The statement has since triggered mixed reactions online. Some social media users praised him for prioritizing mental well-being and child safety in a digital age, while others argued that strict restrictions may be difficult to maintain in a world where technology is deeply integrated into daily life.
