How I knelt to beg an influencer to promote my song – Spyro
Spyro, whose real name is Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, shared how he approached various influential figures in the industry for assistance in marketing his song, only to be met with repeated rejections.
The singer particularly pointed out an incident where he went to great lengths, even going down on his knees in public, to beg an influencer to help promote his music, but his plea fell on deaf ears.
The revelation came as Spyro discussed the unexpected turn of events that saw popular comedian and content creator Craze Clown play a pivotal role in the viral success of “Who’s Your Guy.”
According to Spyro, Craze Clown liked the song and gave it free promotion across all his social media pages, even creating TikTok videos featuring the track.
In his words;
“While I was performing I saw Craze Clown vibing to my song, after performing I met with him and we exchanged contact, so we decided to meet up I went to his house for one reason or the other, he kept listening to the song continuously. Before you know it he started creating TikTok videos back to back with the sound.”
“He was aggressive with posting to the point that he was making videos more than me and at some point people thought it was Craze Clown’s song, he didn’t charge a dime to promote my song. I’ll go to his house he will still serve me food.
“All the influencers I constituted a nuisance to, for them to help me, but the help didn’t come from there, I literally knelt for an influencer in front of foodies one day, and I’ll never forget and he still didn’t help me.”
