Just days after announcing his engagement, Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Spyro has gone viral again, this time showering praise on his fiancée Janet Atom for transforming his approach to money management. In a candid Instagram post shared on Sunday, the “Who’s Your Guy” hitmaker revealed how Janet’s pragmatic advice has steered him away from lavish impulses, crediting her with making him “richer” both financially and personally.
“Everything changed when I met her,” Spyro, whose real name is Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, captioned a series of loved-up photos with Janet. The 29-year-old singer, who skyrocketed to fame in 2022 with his infectious breakout single, detailed a pivotal moment early in their relationship: his obsession with purchasing a Tesla Cybertruck. “I remember planning for a car and I wanted a cyber truck so badly,” he wrote. “I told her I am going to the car lot for a cyber truck and while I kept talking about where to park the car and the color she said ‘we do not need a cyber truck, have you thought of the cost of maintenance?’”
Spyro, known for his upbeat anthems like “Billing” and “No Gree For Anybody,” admitted the conversation was a wake-up call. Janet’s no-nonsense perspective not only halted the extravagant buy but also sparked a broader shift in his spending habits. He humorously recounted her insistence on skipping business-class upgrades during travels: “Or is it how she never allow me get her Business class tickets anytime we are flying, she will say ‘Give me the money, let me put it in my business’ 🤣 so on all our flights I have to leave my business class seat to exchange with the person sitting beside her in economy 😁.”
The post, which has already garnered thousands of likes and comments from fans and fellow celebrities, ends on a heartfelt note: “TRULY A WIFE MATERIAL.” Spyro’s tribute comes hot on the heels of his romantic engagement announcement on September 19, where he revealed meeting Janet at a Lagos club in March 2024 while he was performing. What began as a chance encounter has blossomed into what he calls “the answer to my prayers,” complete with a surprise proposal amid red roses, heart-shaped balloons, and a glowing “Will You Marry Me?” sign.
Fans have flooded the comments with admiration, with one writing, “Spyro e don do oo hmmm… carry ur beautiful Janet enter house,” while another quipped, “This is the kind of woman every man needs – brains and beauty!” The couple’s story resonates amid a growing conversation in Nigeria’s entertainment scene about financial literacy, especially for young artists navigating sudden fame and fortune.
As Spyro prepares for wedding bells, his candid share serves as both a love letter to Janet and a subtle nod to the power of partnership in building lasting wealth. “From 2:48am to Forever,” he teased in his engagement post – a timeline that now includes savvy investments over splurges.
Spyro’s team has yet to confirm wedding details, but sources close to the singer hint at a low-key ceremony later this year. For now, the star is basking in the glow of love and lessons learned.
