Nigerian singer Spyro recently stirred up quite the conversation online after calling out the wealthy — especially billionaires — over what he describes as a frustrating and unfair habit: not paying for services. In a candid Instagram story, the “Who’s Your Guy” crooner didn’t hold back, pointing fingers at the so-called big spenders who often splurge millions on luxury lifestyles, parties, and women but somehow “forget” to pay creatives, service providers, and hardworking professionals their rightful fees.
Spyro stressed that it’s often the rich, not the poor, who owe the most, and he expressed how absurd it is for people with deep pockets to expect freebies or discounts simply because of their status. The singer made it clear that he’s worked tirelessly to reach his current level of success and refuses to let anyone, regardless of fame or fortune, undermine his worth. He boldly stated that anyone approaching him for services should come correct — full payment, no shortcuts.
His post sparked widespread reactions from fans and fellow creatives, many of whom agreed that the “rich man freebie culture” is a real struggle in the industry. Spyro’s no-nonsense stand definitely hit home for many!
“The people that owe the most are the RICH. Always wanting free things, especially your so-called billionaires. They can spend hundreds of millions on women, but when it comes to paying for value rendered, they begin to misbehave.
Sha don’t bring it near me o, I worked really hard to be here and I ain’t pøor so if you want my services you pay my price. Simple”.
