“Not a New Cat, I’ve Been in the Music Industry Longer Than Most Top Artists” – Spyro
Nigerian singer Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has clarified misconceptions about his status in the music industry, asserting that he is not a newcomer but an artist with experience and a significant presence in the industry.
Spyro debunked the notion that he is a new face in the music scene, highlighting that he has been involved in the industry for a longer period than many popular Nigerian artists.
He disclosed his initial intention to follow in the footsteps of the late Dagrin, a renowned Nigerian rapper. However, he later transitioned from rap music to singing.
The talented artist further revealed that he collaborated with Tiwa Savage on a song as far back as 2010 when he was still known by his rap alias, “Freeze.”
This collaboration with Tiwa Savage demonstrates his early involvement in the music industry and his connections with established artists.
Spyro also reminisced about his collaboration with the late Sound Sultan in 2014, showcasing his ability to work with respected and accomplished musicians in the Nigerian music scene.
He wrote; “It is funny how a lot of pple think I am a new cat *lol I have been here way before most of your favs… but as the Bible says 4 “the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”
Spyro shared a clip and art cover of his throwback songs, with the caption “that was me rapping right after Tiwa savage in the 2nd slide when my name was “FREEZE” my plan then was to take over from DAGREEN 🤦🏾♂️and that was 2010 ,I doubt @tiwasavage can even remember that day 😂 but look at God ,he brought time back for me with the same @tiwasavage #WOW and then I transitioned to spyrophreeze and recorded more songs..
