Spyro opens up about career struggles after working with Davido and Mayorkun

Spyro blames Davido and Mayorkun for his career setback

Nigerian Afrobeat singer Spyro has shared a deeply personal story about how a major collaboration he believed would transform his career ended up becoming a source of disappointment.

In a recent interview with HipTV, the singer reflected on his 2018 remix of the song Funke, which featured superstar Davido and hitmaker Mayorkun. 

At the time, Spyro was convinced that the high-profile collaboration would catapult him to greater heights. However, things didn’t go as expected.

“I had a song back then, that I had Davido and Mayorkun on it. I actually thought that my life was about to change,” he said. “The song came out big, and I went back down all of a sudden.”

Despite the initial buzz surrounding the release, Spyro revealed that he soon faced unexpected setbacks.

One of the most painful moments for him was losing touch with the very artists he once worked closely with.

“I sat down and thought about it because how do I go from working with Davido, vibing with Mayorkun and all those guys, and all of a sudden, they no longer even pick your calls anymore,” he shared.

The experience took a toll on him emotionally and financially, especially with the pressure of supporting his family. 

“I would just sit down on my staircase back then and cry... but I had my parents at home that I needed to take care of, and a lot of things were just going wrong,” he added.
