Spyro Opens Up About Embracing Abstinence and Overcoming Temptation
Nigerian singer Spyro recently opened up about his personal journey towards embracing celibacy.
In a candid post shared on Instagram, the 33-year-old musician revealed his internal battle with premarital sex.
Spyro admitted that while he found the experience pleasurable, it often left him feeling guilty and conflicted afterward.
He explained that his conscience would weigh heavily on him each time he engaged in sexual activities outside of marriage, leaving him feeling troubled.
“Every time I ‘fornicated,’ knowing I wasn’t married to the person, I felt like a part of me was lost,” Spyro shared.
After a period of self-reflection and prayer, the singer made the decision to cut ties with individuals and situations that led him into temptation.
He noted that it wasn’t an easy choice but felt it was necessary for his personal growth and peace of mind.
“I struggled with it for a while, but I kept praying for strength,” he wrote. “When the time was right, I severed all lingering connections that were drawing me back into that lifestyle.”
Spyro acknowledged that maintaining celibacy has been challenging, especially when faced with temptation while travelling or encountering people who made advances toward him.
He also mentioned that promoters in the industry often made things difficult for him, but over time, they have come to understand his stance.
Despite the challenges, Spyro remains committed to his decision, saying, “It hasn’t been easy, but I’m saving this bed for one now.”
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
