- He revealed that people seek his assistance both online and offline without reciprocating it.
Afrobeats artist Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, widely recognized as Spyro, has disclosed that he allocates more than N15 million each year to support beggars.
The singer of “Who’s Your Guy” expressed his frustrations regarding the relentless demands he encounters from fans seeking his help.
He noted that individuals approach him for financial assistance both through social media and in person, often without offering any form of gratitude in return.
Despite his ongoing generosity, Spyro recounted a distressing incident in which a stranger verbally attacked him simply because he was unable to provide money at that particular time.
On his Instagram page, he wrote, “[It’s] really hard being a celebrity in Lagos. I told a guy I didn’t have anything and would see him the next day. He rained insults on me. Every day I step out of my house, I spend a minimum of N100k on gifts. Now let’s do the maths: let’s say I go out three times a week, that’s N300k per week, making N1.2m per month, and that’s about N15 million a year. Kilode.”
