Famous Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has disclosed that he spends over N15 million annually on beggars.
The “Who’s Your Guy” exponent made this disclosure while lamenting about the constant pressure he faces to assist fans.
Spyro also revealed that people come to him for assistance both online and offline without reciprocating the assistance.
Despite his constant acts of kindness, the singer recalled a bitter experience where a stranger insulted him simply because he could not give money at that moment.
“[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,” the singer wrote on his Instagram page.
