Popular Nigerian musician Spyro has once again made headlines, this time for responding to an insulting encounter with a stranger in the heart of Lagos. The “Who’s Your Guy” crooner, known for his catchy tunes and infectious personality, didn’t hold back during an impromptu conversation with fans and the media outside a local event.
Speaking candidly, Spyro shared details of the incident, which took place while he was out on the bustling streets of Lagos. According to the singer, a random individual approached him with harsh words, prompting a swift response from the star. While the nature of the insult was not disclosed, Spyro expressed his frustration, emphasizing that as a public figure, he often faces unsolicited criticism from strangers.
In a passionate remark, Spyro stated, “Being a celebrity in Nigeria is not for the faint-hearted. You can’t walk around without someone having something to say about you. Some people think they can just disrespect you because of who you are. It’s frustrating, but you learn to handle it with grace.”
Spyro also opened up about the challenges of fame, particularly the constant “billing”—a local slang referring to requests for financial help or favors from celebrities. “Everywhere you go, you are being billed. It’s like people think because you’re famous, you owe them something. But what people don’t realize is that fame comes with its own set of struggles,” Spyro remarked.
The artist acknowledged that, despite the pressures and occasional negative encounters, he remains focused on his career and the positive impact he aims to make in the music industry. “I’m just doing me, making music that connects with people, and staying grounded. At the end of the day, that’s what matters.”
Spyro’s candidness has resonated with many of his fans, who applauded him for being authentic in an industry where the pressures of celebrity life often remain hidden behind the glitz and glam. As he continues to navigate the complex world of fame, it’s clear that the talented artist is more than capable of handling the ups and downs that come with the territory.
Spyro’s latest single, “Who’s Your Guy,” has been making waves across the country, further solidifying his place as one of Nigeria’s leading artists in the contemporary music scene.
