pyro, a Nigerian singer and songwriter, revealed that his father, a pastor, stopped paying his school fees due to his poor grades, causing strain in their relationship.

He shared this during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, expressing that his mother took on the responsibility to support him through school. This made him feel like his father hated him, impacting their bond.

“When I was younger, I wasn’t doing well in school and my dad pulled back and withdrew from paying my school fees.

“My mum took the responsibility and she sent me to secondary school and university. I saw her really struggle to do these things and it wasn’t easy for her.

“My dad was just trying to be a disciplinarian, I guess. He was like ‘You’re not coming home with good grades, I’m going to stop paying, I won’t keep investing in you if you’re not bringing good grades home.’

“Now, I would not blame him. But it affected my relationship with him growing up. I felt like my dad hated me.

“Sometimes I would even ask my mum if she is sure that he is my father. He was just too high-handed. I guess it was because he is a pastor and you know the way pastors are with their kids,” he said.
