January 20, 2024 Joshua Samuel

Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, better known by his stage name Spyro, is a Nigerian singer who has admitted that he was hurt that two of his friends, Fireboy DML and Oxlade, achieved fame before him.

Spyro, who recently appeared as a guest on the Tea With Tay podcast, spoke about how hurt he was to see some of his less experienced colleagues in the music business rise to fame before him despite having paid to have his songs promoted on blogs back in the day.

He added that unbeknownst to him at the time, God was teaching him through his delayed achievement that it was by his grace and not by his talent.

Spyro said, “I paid for my song to be on NotJustOkay, a big platform back then. Once you hear their voice tag on a song, the song doesn’t blow. So, I thought that [I would blow].

“So when Fireboy comes to blow, I was like, ‘Eh! Fireboy blow before me? God, me I still dey…’ And all those times, God was teaching me that it’s not about my talent but by his grace.

“Oxlade too. I mean, before Oxlade blew, na me… Eh, God! Oxlade was in my show in 2018. I also brought Davido and Mayorkun for the song. I had a song with Davido and Mayorkun in 2018. I thought that the song would blow me.

“I would post Oxlade on my social media pages and urge fans to watch out for him. And he would come to my DM to appreciate me. Then he just blew before me. I was like, ‘God, what is going on?’

“Na Oxlade and Fireboy blow na im pain me pass. Not be say pain but it triggered me. I am happy that they blew at the point they blew but these are people that I was in the industry before them. I was like, ‘God, what is going on?’ So, it was so painful for me. It was frustrating. I would cry. I would struggle with God.”
