Why I’ll never marry without N500m in my account – Spyro

• Spyro has reacted to a trending incident between Burna Boy and Sophia Egbueje.
• The Grammy winning singer allegedly got intimate after promising the socialite a Lamborghini but failed to keep his end of the bargain.
• Amid the controversy the issue has raised, Spyro urged parents to raise their children right, revealing why he would not be getting married if he doesn’t have at least N500m in his bank account.

Singer Spyro has stated that he will not walk down the aisle until he has amassed N500m in his bank account. 

In his post on Instagram, Spyro reflected on his challenging upbringing and his determination to secure a stable financial future for himself and his future family. 

He also emphasised the importance of proper guidance, urging his followers to focus on breaking the cycle of poverty, insisting that it is crucial for parents to direct their children toward a brighter future. 

The Who’s Your Guy crooner expressed concern that many individuals in his generation seem to prioritise superficial pursuits over significant personal growth, describing it as “gallivanting and indulging in frivolities.”

Spyro shared that he was not privileged enough to have toys as a child and faced numerous obstacles.  He further stressed that financial provision is not enough; parents must also instill strong moral values and a sense of responsibility. He wrote:

“I blame all these on bad parenting….”Train up a child (male/female) the way he should go and when he grows, he will not depart from it. A lot of us should be focused on ending the circle of poverty so that our children won’t be victims too but unfortunately, my generation just dey gallivant about, indulging in frivolities..hmm

“I was talking to someone earlier today about how I was never opportune to have toys as a kid; my childhood wasn’t the easiest, but one thing I told myself from a very tender age. My kids will never have to go through what I did and so I put myself to rigorous work. In fact, I will never marry without having N500m in my account. I fought, cried, and prayed, and today, I can afford to give my kids the life they want so they don’t become prey as I almost became one.

This should be what we should focus on not criticizing.

“Nevertheless, it’s not enough to provide, it is very Germane to also train them with the fear of God as that’s what separates a man from beast tendencies. The spirit of God in man is what regulates him and keeps him level-headed. Didn’t the Bible make reference to the heart of man? Desperately wicked who can know it? God over man is what keeps him sane”.

This comes amid a leaked voice note that went viral on February 27, 2025, involving Sophia Egbueje and Burna Boy and a one-sided sex-for-Lamborghini deal.

The 40-minute leaked audio recording had Sophia detailing her grievances to a friend. She claims that in 2024, her friend Ama Reginald and Burna Boy’s associate King Manny persuaded her to meet the singer.

Initially reluctant, Sophia was swayed by Burna Boy’s reputation for generosity—such as gifting his ex-girlfriend Stefflon Don a Rolls Royce Cullinan valued at around $500,000.

Sophia alleged that Burna Boy made several promises, including buying her a Lamborghini, but eventually ghosted her and failed to fulfill his promises after their one-night stand.

The revelation has caused a stir on social media, leading to a variety of reactions and offsetting discussions about social climbing and transactional relationships.
