His logic is simple. Once he’s gone, he can’t control what happens next. In his words, “after I’m gone, I don’t know what you’re doing with it.” He also said that if someone loses favour and has no money left, that’s it. Finished.

The clip popped up just days after he appeared on the Nevon HQ podcast, where he spoke about a hard childhood and how harshly his father treated him. So people were already paying attention.
Money came up in another way too. Spyro says he’s spent as much as \u20a6100 million on some songs, only for them to underperform. Imagine checking the streams afterwards and wondering, “What’s going on?”

He also admitted that many artistes aren’t proud to let their children watch their music videos. That’s a bold thing to say out loud. You might agree with Spyro, or you might think leaving something for the kids is only fair. Either way, it’s not often a big name talks this openly about money, faith and his own career. Spyro says he won’t leave money behind for his children. He also opens up on \u20a6100 million songs that underperformed and what being a ‘Jesus boy’ really means.

Then there’s the faith angle. Spyro is open about loving and serving God, but he says that doesn’t make him a gospel artist.
“Na me be Jesus boy, my music is not necessarily Jesus music,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"image_editor_output_image933339964-17899592676464482759654246811902\"](\"https:\/\/isokovibe.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image_editor_output_image933339964-17899592676464482759654246811902.jpg\")
So, what do you make of it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobody can say he’s pretending. And it does make you wonder what you’d do in his shoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
