Singer Spyro has expressed the difficulties of being a celebrity in Lagos, citing the financial pressure from fans who make constant demands for money.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the “Who Is Your Guy?” singer revealed that he gives out at least N100,000 every time he steps out, amounting to about N15 million annually. Spyro stated that such demands are unsustainable for celebrities.
“It’s really hard being a celebrity in this Lagos,” he wrote. “I told a guy I don’t have today and I will see him next day, and he rained insults on me.”
He added, “Every day I step out of my house, I spend a minimum of N100k on givings. Now, let’s do the maths. Let’s say I go out three times a week. That’s 300k a week, making N1.2m per month, and that’s about N15m per year. Kilode.
