“Poverty was using me to cook efo riro but God changed my story and gave me a new song” – Spyro recounts trials as he builds his third mansion

It is raining blessings for fast-rising singer Spyro who is working on his third mansion.

In a series of posts on his Instagram story, he recalled how he started his career in a one-room apartment in Gbagada in 2018. He said he had a dream of buying mansions and rebuilding to his taste, and though he had nothing, he had a deep conviction that God was able, and now, things have changed for good.

Using himself as an example, he admonished his fans to not be easily deceived as Christ works. He stated that this is one of the reasons he can never stop shouting Jesus as his life was a mess, literally to the extent that poverty used him to cook Efo riro; big God changed his story and gave him a new song.

“From my one room in Gbagada 2018. I had a dream of someday buying mansions and rebuilding to my taste, and tho I had nothing, I had a deep conviction that God was able. Now look at me, here is the 3rd one. Jesus is real.

When @bolajid said to me that morning, “Spyro, whenever you wake up in the morning, see yourself in your future and say what you want to see. I started saying things that made me look stup!d even to myself and I began to doubt but I was in church again and PB while preaching said ‘you do the dreaming and leave the doing to God”. That hit me and every single thing I saw and said is my reality today.
Don’t be deceived. Christ works.

E get why I no fit stop dey shout this Jesus o. Life was a mess. Literally, poverty took me to cook efo riro, but he changed my story and gave me a song”.

Last month, Spyro had thrown a shade at Ubi Franklin, as he showed off his material possessions. He stated that God had been faithful to him without taking 10 percent, as he admonished upcoming artists that serving God pays.

Back in 2023, the upcoming singer opened up about his financial journey, revealing that he started the year with very little money in his account, less than 10,000 Naira. However, he has achieved significant success since the beginning of the year, including buying cars and multiple houses for himself and his family.

In another post, Spyro revealed how his mother’s suffering inspired him to excel as he celebrated her birthday.

In other news, last year, Spyro sent a message to upcoming artists. He educated them that signing with the biggest label or artiste in the world doesn’t guarantee their success. Enlightening them, Spyro made it known that one’s talent without diligence and hard work will fail one. The “Who Is Your Guy” singer went on to admonish them to stop building castles in the air, waiting for labels/people, and start investing in themselves.
