Renowned Afrobeats sensation Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, famously known as Spyro, has opened up about the immense financial pressure he faces as a celebrity.

Taking to Instagram, Spyro shared the emotional toll of constantly being approached for assistance, both online and offline, often without any gratitude in return. Despite his generosity, he recounted a disheartening experience when a stranger hurled insults at him for not giving money on the spot.

“Being a celebrity in Lagos is tough,” Spyro wrote. “I told a guy I didn’t have anything at that moment and would see him the next day, but he insulted me. Every day I step out of my house, I spend at least ₦100k on gifts. Let’s do the math—if I go out three times a week, that’s ₦300k weekly, ₦1.2 million monthly, and about ₦15 million a year. Kilode!”

The singer’s heartfelt revelation highlights the immense expectations placed on celebrities and the challenges of balancing kindness with personal boundaries.
