“I’m not part of the school of thought of leaving money down for children at the end of the day because after I’m gone, I don’t know what you’re doing with it,” he said.

The singer added that once a person loses grace and no longer has money, inherited wealth may not be enough to keep them afloat.

For the singer, the issue goes beyond how much money a parent can accumulate. His comments suggest that the values, direction, and abilities passed on to children may matter just as much.

Spyro’s perspective comes from a journey he described as one of exhausting every option before turning back to God.

The music star also disclosed that he has spent up to N100 million on some songs and about N50 million on his most expensive music video.
