Afrobeats artist Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has shared that he spends more than N15 million yearly supporting beggars.
The “Who’s Your Guy” hitmaker revealed this while expressing frustration over the unrelenting pressure he faces to help fans.
Spyro noted that both online and offline, people frequently seek his assistance but rarely show gratitude or reciprocate the kindness.
Despite his generosity, he recounted a painful incident where a stranger insulted him simply because he couldn’t provide financial help at that 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.”
