Sensational singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, better known as Spyro said that artists owe their fans to live a decent life.
The singer said this while featuring as a guest in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch podcast co-hosted by actor, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu.
The ‘Who Is Your Guy’ crooner said that his mentor, Sound Sultan taught him how to live a good life.
He maintained that he has never seen his mentor smoke, drink or go look for women at the club.
He said, “I saw Sound Sultan, he doesn’t drink nor smoke. Even when we go to a club, you won’t see him chasing women.
“We owe it to the fans to live a decent life. The first time I met Sound Sultan, he sat me down on his dining table and told me, ‘A lot of politicians come to me because they know if I support them, everybody will do the same.’
“He said they [politicians] would bring a lot of money. Dem go put Ghana-must-go down say just support. But then he told me that if he accept, wetin him dey plan down for his kids? But now he is actually gone.
“We live like we own our lives. You are going to leave your kids behind one day. What are you leaving them to? What kind of society are you creating and you’re leaving them to? He [Sound Sultan] made that impact on me.”
While speaking on the kind of music he produces, he noted that his own is to make decent music.
“Why should I be boxed as a gospel singer or secular singer? I’m just a singer and it is expected of me to make decent music,” he noted.
