Nigerian musician Spyro, whose real name is Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, talked candidly about the challenges of being a famous person in Lagos.
Spyro discussed how the expectations of celebrity frequently take the shape of ongoing financial obligations when reflecting on a bad experience.
The performer, who is most known for his popular song “Who’s Your Guy,” described an instance in which a man criticised him after he said he would help him the next day but couldn’t at that time.
He pointed out that this incident was only one of many that demonstrate the excessive demands made of the city’s superstars.
Spyro also revealed the financial burden of his celebrity status, stating that he spends at least N100,000 every time he leaves his house, with an annual expenditure of around N15 million.
He lamented that wherever he goes—whether it’s a restaurant, church, or even just using his phone online—he is bombarded with financial requests, but few consider the toll it takes on him.
In his words;
If I enter restaurant, Billings go dey wait me outside, I enter church, same thing…Enter estate, same, carry phone enter online, na same same.
“Everybody wants to take, but nobody dey give you and nobody thinks of how you are faring.
“S/O to every one of my colleagues out there going through this, y’all are the real MVPs and I celebrate you.”
