Nigerian singer Spyro has found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after a recent social media post in which he thanked his fiancée for “saving him from Lekki girls.”
The remark, intended as praise for his partner, quickly stirred strong reactions online over its wording and underlying message.
In the post, Spyro referred to his fiancée as his “Jesus baddie” and expressed gratitude that she kept him away from what he described as the temptations of women from Lekki.
His exact words included, “Thank you again for saving me from Lekki girls o. Na me know wetin my eyes see.”
What might have been intended as romantic appreciation instead touched on sensitive issues regarding how women are portrayed, particularly those residing in Lekki are often associated with luxury, style, and modernity.
Many social media users accused Spyro of reinforcing negative stereotypes and disrespecting a whole class of women simply by framing them as a threat or temptation
