Singer and songwriter Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has revealed how he was fed and clothed by his late colleague, Sound Sultan.
Sound Sultan, one of the pioneers of hip-hop in the Nigerian entertainment industry, died on July 11, 2021, while receiving chemotherapy in the US for throat cancer.
Paying tribute to the late star via his Instagram account on Friday, Spyro who called Sultan his “mentor” recalled how the veteran accepted him when nobody did.
Sharing an experience where he was subjected to mockery, Spyro disclosed that his unkept appearance made Sultan go into his room to give him some clothes.
“I MISS YOU mentor …I cannot COUNT MY BLESSINGS without you.
“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 for 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 are 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.
“Thank you for all you taught me and did for me …TILL WE MEET AGAIN, rest on in power”, the post reads.
