Nigerian artist Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, better known as Spyro, has shared his experience of resisting pressure from his team to abandon his "JESUS BOY" brand.
On his Instagram story, the "Who's Your Guy?" performer opened up about the struggles he encounters in the music scene due to his open Christian faith.
Spyro remembered how he borrowed money, both from banks and personally, to establish his own record label in 2019 after leaving his previous one.
He emphasized that since starting this journey alone, he has not required any outside financial aid. His faith in Jesus has been his strength and key to success, especially when many other artists are facing hardships.
The singer expressed that he completely grasped the perspective of his team, yet he remained firm in his beliefs, declaring he would choose death over severing his connection with Jesus as they had advised.
He concluded by sharing how those very team members who once suggested that change are now filled with pride for him.
Spyro explained, "Allow me to share a quick story about my immense gratitude today... Back in 2019, I left the record label I was part of to establish my own. We secured loans, both personal and from the bank, to launch it, and since then, we havenât received any external financial aid. One morning, some team members approached me to discuss my JESUS BOY brand. They expressed concerns, saying, âYou might want to reconsider this brand; it doesnât seem to be effective for us,â and advised me to take down âCHRIST AMBASSADORâ from my profile back then.
âWhat followed was a heated discussion. I recall stating, Iâd rather DIE than remove Jesus from my profile, even though I understood their concerns. They believed that linking myself to JESUS would hinder my opportunities and appear unprofitable. When it became clear I wasnât changing my stance, one person suggested I switch to âchild of Godâ since itâs a more generic term. Again, I refused and told them that JESUS, whom I represent, would provide for me. Recently, one teammate called to say, âMany artists are struggling right now, no contracts, no performances, but youâve found yourself in a great position, and Iâm really proud of you.â Ah."
