According to Spyro, the stranger’s reaction was not an isolated incident.

He revealed that every time he steps out of his house, he spends a minimum of N100,000 on giving to people.

He broke down the math, explaining that if he goes out three times a week, that’s N300,000 per week, N1.2 million per month, and a staggering N15 million per year.

Spyro’s post highlighted the financial burden that comes with being a celebrity in Lagos.

He lamented that everywhere he goes, people expect something from him.

Whether it’s at a restaurant, church, or even online, the expectation is always the same – everybody wants to take, but nobody thinks about how he is faring.

“Really hard being a celebrity in this Lagos I told a guy I don’t have today and that I will see him next day and he rained insults on me. Every day I step out of my house I spend a minimum of 100k on givings, now let’s do the maths..let’s say I go out 3 time a week, that’s 300k per week making 1.2m per month and that’s about 15million a year Kilode.”

The singer’s frustration is palpable, and he’s not alone in his experience. He shared the post to serve as a reminder that being a celebrity comes with its own set of challenges, and it’s not all glamour and glory.

In the end, Spyro took a moment to celebrate his colleagues who are going through similar experiences, calling them the real MVPs. His post has sparked a conversation about the realities of being a celebrity in Nigeria, and it’s clear that Spyro was not alone in his frustrations.
