Fraud Starts From Listening To Shallipopi – Spyro Claims
Afrobeats phenomenon Spyro has shared his perspective on whether artists should lead respectable lifestyles, considering their role as public figures and potential role models.
During a recent interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Nigerian singer Spyro expressed his belief that artists have a responsibility to their fans to lead decent lives. He emphasized that artists are public figures whose actions are closely observed by their fans, and as such, they owe it to their fans to set worthy examples.
Spyro also shared an important lesson he learned from the late Afrobeats musician Sound Sultan, who advised him on the importance of leading a moral life rather than one solely driven by material success. He emphasized that the wisdom he gained from Sound Sultan, even though the legend was no longer alive, remained valuable to him.
In the interview, Spyro stressed the significance of being mindful of one’s words, as they have the power to shape behavior. He cited a specific line from Shallipopi’s ‘Elon Musk’ (“Para dey body”) as an example that could potentially influence young people in a negative way, possibly towards criminal activities.
In summary, Spyro believes that artists should lead respectable lives because of their influence and the responsibility they have toward their fans and society at large. He also highlighted the importance of being cautious about the messages conveyed through their music.
