Singer Spyro Recounts Industry Pressure To Drop His Faith

Nigerian singer Spyro has opened up about a testing moment in his career where his faith was put to the test.





The singer revealed that after leaving his former record label in 2019 to start his own journey, he took out bank and personal loans to fund his career while relying only on determination, hard work, and his faith in God.

Spyro said those closest to him in the industry and some team members approached him suggesting he change or tone down his “Jesus Boy” identity because it might be limiting his image and acceptance. They even advised him to remove “Christ Ambassador” from his profile. He said,

“I remember saying I would rather DIE than remove Jesus from my profile,” Spyro recounted, adding that while he understood their point of view, he could not compromise on his convictions.

When he refused to budge, one person suggested he at least change it to “Child of God,” calling it a broader term. But Spyro stood firm, insisting that the name of Jesus would open doors for him.

Fast forward to now, and Spyro says the same people who doubted him are calling to commend his success.
