Spyro, the fast-rising Nigerian singer, has expressed gratitude to the late rapper, Sound Sultan, for his assistance during the early stages of his career.
The singer, whose real name is Oluwasanmi Ogundipe, recounted how the rapper fed and clothed him when other people mocked him.
Sound Sultan passed away in 2021 after a battle with lymphoma, a type of cancer that starts in the white blood cells.
In an Instagram post on Friday, Spyro acknowledged that his success story would not be complete without the late rapper.
“I miss you mentor… I cannot count my blessings without you,” Spyro wrote.
“Today thoughts of how you fed me, clothed me and accepted me when nobody did come rushing back. I remember a night we were to go to an event and I as usual came so unkept and fashion-less but while others laughed at me, you went up to your room and brought your cloth down for me to wear.”
“I wish you were here to see all that is happening. I remember how I would always tell you I would make you proud, and it’s sad you ain’t here now,” he added.
“Thank you for all you taught me and did for me …till we meet again, rest on in power #SoundSultan.”
Following the success of his hit song ‘Who Is Your Guy’ released in November 2022, Spyro’s career gained prominence.
The singer collaborated with Tiwa Savage to release a remix of the song on March 3, 2023.
On Thursday, the singer made a significant announcement of acquiring two houses, which is five months after the initial release of the song.
