Spyro, the Nigerian singer known for his hit track Who’s Your Guy, has called on some of the country’s biggest music stars to speak out on the growing insecurity across Nigeria.
His appeal specifically targeted top Afrobeats figures like Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, Rema, and Asake, urging them to use their massive platforms to draw attention to the suffering of ordinary citizens.
According to Spyro, the situation in the country has gone beyond entertainment and everyday conversations, especially with reports of attacks, kidnappings, and worsening safety concerns affecting schools, communities, and families.
He expressed concern that while millions of fans follow these artists daily, many of them remain silent on national issues that directly affect those same supporters.
In his emotional message, Spyro stressed that even a simple social media post from any of these global superstars could make a difference.
He argued that their voices carry enough influence to spark conversations, pressure authorities, and possibly push for more action from those in power. He described their silence as troubling, especially at a time when many Nigerians are living in fear.
The singer also expanded his criticism beyond the music industry, noting that religious leaders and other influential public figures have not spoken enough about the crisis. In his view, the responsibility to speak up should not be limited to politicians alone, especially when the effects of insecurity are felt across all levels of society.
Spyro’s comments have since sparked mixed reactions online. Some supporters agree with him, saying celebrities should be more socially responsible and use their influence for advocacy.
Others, however, believe entertainers are not obligated to comment on political or security issues, arguing that their role is primarily to provide entertainment rather than engage in activism.
Despite the divided opinions, Spyro maintained that his plea comes from a place of concern rather than criticism. He emphasized that the lives of innocent Nigerians, including children and teachers, should matter more than silence or neutrality from influential voices.
As insecurity continues to dominate public discourse in Nigeria, Spyro’s call adds to a growing expectation that celebrities, especially those with international recognition, should play a more active role in highlighting national challenges.
Whether or not the artists respond, the conversation once again highlights the pressure on public figures in Nigeria to balance fame, influence, and social responsibility in a country facing complex security issues.
