Nigerian musician and songwriter Spyro disclosed that his relationship with his father, a preacher, deteriorated when he stopped paying his school tuition because of his subpar results. In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, he revealed this and said that his mother assumed responsibility for providing for him while he was in school. This damaged their relationship by giving him the impression that his father detested him.
“When I was younger, I wasn’t doing well in school and my dad pulled back and withdrew from paying my school fees.
“Now, I would not blame him. But it affected my relationship with him growing up. I felt like my dad hated me.“Sometimes I would even ask my mum if she is sure that he is my father. He was just too high-handed. I guess it was because he is a pastor and you know the way pastors are with their kids,” he said.
