Spyro Reveals Spending Over ₦15 Million Annually on Beggars

Afrobeats star Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has disclosed that he spends more than ₦15 million yearly on providing for beggars and those seeking assistance.

The Who’s Your Guy singer made this revelation while expressing frustration over the unending demands for help from fans and strangers, both online and in person. Despite his generosity, Spyro shared a disheartening experience where he was insulted for being unable to provide money at a particular moment.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, Spyro detailed the financial burden of his goodwill. He noted that stepping out of his house often comes with an obligation to spend on those in need.

“It’s really hard being a celebrity in Lagos,” he wrote. “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 ₦100k on gifts. Let’s do the maths: if I go out three times a week, that’s ₦300k per week, making ₦1.2m per month, which totals over ₦15 million a year. Kilode.”

Spyro’s candid statement sheds light on the pressures faced by public figures to meet societal expectations of constant generosity, even at the expense of their own financial stability.
