Spyro Shares His Views On Not Leaving Wealth To His Children

Nigerian singer Spyro has shared his perspective on generational wealth, stating that he does not believe in the practice of leaving substantial money for his children after his death.

An old interview clip featuring the ‘Who’s Your Guy?’ artist has surfaced online following his recent appearance on the Nevon HQ podcast, where he discussed various personal experiences.

In the clip, Spyro expressed that his approach to wealth focuses on preparing his children to be independent rather than simply providing them with an inheritance. He stated, “I’m not part of the school of thought of ‘leave money down for children,’ because after I’m gone, I don’t know what you’re doing with it. So once you fall off grace and you don’t have money, you’re finished.”

He also talked about the unpredictable nature of music production, mentioning that some of his songs have cost up to ₦100 million to produce, despite not always achieving the expected commercial success. “There are songs I’ve spent 100 million on, and when you go check the streams, sometimes you look like, ‘What’s going on?’” he remarked.

Spyro noted that his largest budget for a music video has been around ₦50 million, indicating that certain production expenses have surpassed his visual spending. However, he acknowledged that the figures from the earlier interview may not reflect his current expenditures.

In addition to discussing the business side of music, Spyro examined the contrast between his Christian faith and some content within the industry. He recognized that there are music videos that artists may feel uncomfortable having their children watch, citing what he described as sexually explicit material. “A lot of us as artists are not even proud to have our children watch our music videos, because it’s pornography,” he stated.

Elaborating on how he differentiates between his faith and his music, Spyro commented, “Na me be Jesus boy, my music is not necessarily Jesus music. I’m a Jesus boy because I love God, I serve God, but I don’t necessarily make gospel music.”

This resurfaced interview provides further insight into Spyro, who has been candid about his personal experiences. In a more recent appearance on the Nevon HQ podcast, he discussed his childhood and the challenging experiences that influenced his relationship with his father.
