Nigerian singer Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, better known as Spyro recently took to his social media handle to lament about life as a celebrity living in Lagos.

In his post, Spyro shared how expensive it is for him to survive in Lagos as a celebrity. He noted that on average, he spends over a N100k daily once he steps out of his house.

Spyro further analysed how much it costs him a week and per month. In a post on his Instagram handle, he shared a picture with a lengthy caption detailing his experience with a stranger who insulted him after he politely declined to give him money.

According to Spyro, the stranger’s reaction was not an isolated incident. He revealed that every time he steps out of his house, he spends a minimum of N100,000 on giving to people.

He lamented that everywhere he goes, people expect something from him. Be it at a restaurant, church, or even online, the expectation is always the same – everybody wants to take, but nobody thinks about how he is faring.

“Really hard being a celebrity in this Lagos I told a guy I don’t have today and that I will see him next day and he rained insults on me. Every day I step out of my house I spend a minimum of 100k on givings, now let’s do the maths..let’s say I go out 3 times a week, that’s 300k per week making 1.2m per month and that’s about 15million a year Kilode.”
