Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, the popular Nigerian singer, who is famously known as Spyro, and known for his hit song “Who Is Your Guy,” has expressed his frustration over unpaid debts owed by some of his colleagues in the entertainment industry.

In his post on social media, Spyro accused the debtors of treating their obligations casually, warning that he would no longer tolerate their refusal to settle their debts.

He said that he had shown significant patience and extended grace but emphasized that his tolerance was nearing its limit. 

The artist issued a stern ultimatum, urging the defaulters to pay up or risk public exposure.

Spyro also addressed misconceptions about his Christian faith, clarifying that his beliefs should not be mistaken for weakness.

“If you know you are OWING me in this industry and I have given you enough grace to deliver but you’ve decided to play smart, this post is a warning as I am about to start calling every single person out publicly… Being a Jesus boy doesn’t make me a fool, read your Bible o, Jesus was really skilled in the art of flogging..Ok.

“John 2:15-17: Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep and cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left and right. He told the dove merchants, “Get your things out of here!”, he wrote on Instagram.

Nigerian singer/songwriter, Spyro has disclosed that his dad stopped paying his tuition fee because his grades were poor, which affected their relationship.

He explained that his father was a disciplinarian who stopped paying his fees because he was not doing well in school.

The singer disclosed this during an interview with Chude Jideonwo.

Speaking about his relationship with his father who is a pastor, the ‘Only Fine Girl’ hitmaker said his mother took up the responsibility and struggled to see him through school.

The 33-year-old singer said “I felt like my dad hated me,” adding that it affected their relationship.

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

“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.

Popular Nigerian singer, Spyro has spoken up on his childhood experience as the son of a pastor.

In a recent interview on the Just Chude podcast, he shared both the challenges and benefits of his strict religious upbringing.

Spryro described his childhood as difficult, with mandatory church attendance and Bible study sessions, which sometimes felt forced.

He recalled morning devotions being held at inconvenient times, leading to feelings of resentment towards God.

However, upon entering university, Spryro saw it as an opportunity for freedom and escape from his daily routine.

Despite this, he acknowledged the positive impact of his upbringing, crediting his parents’ teachings and fear of God for shaping his values and behavior.

Spryro emphasized that the fear of God has remained in him, influencing his decisions and actions even in his adult life.

He attributes his choices, such as not smoking or drinking, to this fear of God, which he believes has been beneficial to him.

Popular singer, Spyro has revealed that a lady made him dislike Canada.

Fast rising musician, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David better known as Spyro has spoken on the inspiration behind his viral track as he reveals that he seeks God’s direction before releasing his songs.

The singer who became a sensation after releasing his hit track ‘Who’s Your Guy‘ made this known while speaking in an interview with Punch.

He said that he believes that there is a spiritual and physical part to everything and he ensures that he takes the spiritual part equally serious in his music.

Spyro said:

“I usually go into God’s presence to seek His face, His blessings and directions, days before releasing any song. I don’t do anything without first enquiring from God. I am of the opinion that there is a physical part to things, and also a spiritual part; so I make sure I take that spiritual part seriously. One needs someone working behind the scenes for one.”

On the remix of his popular song, the singer revealed that it had been Tunde Ednut, an Instagram blogger, that had reached out to him to take the song to another level.

He said:

“Tunde Ednut (singer-turned-blogger) reached out to me and said we needed to take the song to the next level, and we should do a remix. He asked me who I had in mind. We went through a couple of names together, before agreeing on Tiwa. I chose Tiwa because I knew she would bring in as much value to the song as I thought; and, she actually did. We connected on different levels. She is an amazing person with a good heart, and I love the fact that she is passionate about the things she does. I am happy I made the remix with her.”

Speaking on what inspired the ‘Who’s your guy’ song, he said:

“It was actually a love song when I first recorded in 2021 as freestyle. However, when I wanted to release it in 2022, I decided to revamp it and make it more relatable to as many people as possible. It’s not just about lovers; ‘one’s guy’ could be anyone, ranging from family and friends.”
