I spend N15 million yearly on beggars – Spyro

Afrobeats singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has revealed that he spends over N15 million annually on beggars.

The “Who’s Your Guy” crooner disclosed this while lamenting about the constant pressure he faces to assist fans.

He revealed that people come to him for assistance both online and offline without reciprocating the assistance.

Despite his constant acts of kindness, Spyro recalled a bitter experience where a stranger insulted him simply because he could not give money at that moment.

On his Instagram page, he wrote, “[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.”
