Spyro revealed that he spends N15 million each year on supporting beggars.
Afrobeats singer Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, widely known as Spyro, has recently opened up about the immense financial and emotional pressure he faces as a celebrity in Lagos. In a candid revelation, Spyro disclosed that he spends over N15 million annually on beggars, a testament to his commitment to helping those in need.
In his Instagram post, Spyro expressed the challenges of celebrity life, particularly the constant demands for assistance from fans and strangers alike. He lamented that despite his efforts to give back, he often encounters ungratefulness, recounting a distressing incident where a stranger insulted him for not being able to provide financial help at that moment.
Spyro’s generosity is not a mere afterthought; he estimates that he spends a minimum of N100,000 each time he leaves his home, which amounts to approximately N1.2 million monthly. This staggering figure underscores the reality that many celebrities face—balancing their philanthropic desires with the pressures and expectations of their public personas.
His experiences serve as a reminder of the complexities surrounding celebrity philanthropy, where acts of kindness can sometimes lead to misunderstanding and resentment. As Spyro continues to navigate this challenging landscape, his story highlights the need for empathy and understanding toward those who choose to give back to their communities.
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known as Terry G, has asserted his significant contribution to the Nigerian music landscape. The “Akpoko Master,” pioneer of the “Street-hop” movement in the 2010s, stated that his influence is undeniable when discussing cultural impact within the Nigerian music industry.
His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
