Nigerian Afrobeats artist Spyro has opened up about feeling abandoned by fellow musicians Davido and Mayorkun following their 2018 collaboration.
In an interview with HipTV, the “Who’s Your Guy” crooner recounted his experience working with the two stars on the remix of his track Funke, which gained widespread popularity at the time.
Despite the song’s initial success, Spyro said his career didn’t progress as he had hoped.
“I had a song back then, and I had Davido and Mayorkun on it.
I thought my life was about to change,” he shared.
“The song came out and it was big, and all of a sudden I went back down.”
Spyro expressed his disappointment over the lack of continued support, revealing that his calls to both artists eventually went unanswered.
“I sat down and thought about it — how do you go from working with Davido, vibing with Mayorkun and all those guys, and all of a sudden, they do not even pick your calls anymore,” he said.
He also shared the emotional toll it took on him during that period: “There are times where I would just sit down on my staircase back then and I would cry.
I had my parents at home that I needed to take care of. A lot of things were just going wrong.”
