Nigerian singer Spyro, real name Oludipe David, is proudly carving a lane for himself in the music industry, without sacrificing his values. Known for his hit single “Who’s Your Guy?”, Spyro has publicly reiterated his commitment to making clean music in a space where many feel pressured to conform to trends driven by explicit content and controversial visuals.
In a recent interview with Saturday Beat, the singer declared, “I’ll like people to perceive my contribution as clean. I’ll like to be that guy that came and advocated for clean music, clean visuals, clean everything.”
This bold stance is part of Spyro’s growing reputation as an artist who blends commercial appeal with a faith-driven message. Speaking to aspiring musicians, he had a clear message: “You can be successful in the industry without compromising.”
“The reason a lot of people compromise is because they feel like if you don’t do it that way, you won’t make money.
But I am proof. Look at me, I’m doing it and making it. I don’t do rough music. I do clean music, and I’m doing great in the industry.”
Spyro, often seen donning his signature “Jesus boy” cap and pendant, has never shied away from expressing his Christian faith. His viral appearance at the 77th Headies Awards with a Bible in hand further emphasized his stance. When asked about the bold gesture, Spyro explained:
“We are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. That is why I’m here with my Bible. I’m always wearing my Jesus boy cap and pendant. It’s just to let the world know that Jesus is the way. No Jesus, no life.”
He added that while he doesn’t carry the Bible around everywhere, “I’m a walking Bible too.”
Despite not winning an award that night, Spyro celebrated a different kind of win. In April 2025, he took to Instagram to share a video of his newly acquired, beautifully furnished home. In the post, he reflected on how many doubted his path in music because of his openly spiritual identity, but now, he’s proving them wrong.
“They that know their God shall be strong and do exploits,” Spyro said, quoting scripture.
“The problem is not the music; the problem is knowing your God.”
With each move, Spyro is reminding the music world that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of conviction. His journey continues to inspire artists who want to stay true to themselves, without compromising for fame.
