Nigerian singer Spyro has shared a deeply emotional experience after a visit from his longtime mentor and music icon, Faze.
Recounting the encounter on X (formerly Twitter), Spyro admitted he broke down in tears as memories of Faze’s music and mentorship came flooding back. He described the veteran’s influence as pivotal to his artistic and personal journey.
“Yesterday I lost every ounce of steeze and composure as Faze came to my house,” Spyro wrote. “When he left, I started playing old songs, and I lost it; I cried like a baby. Those were the songs that formed me, songs that moved my heart.”
The ‘Who’s Your Guy’ crooner said the experience reignited his desire to produce music with the same emotional richness, noting that today’s industry lacks the depth he grew up admiring. He linked this inspiration to his forthcoming album, ‘The Men, the Boys and Your Guy’.
In response, Faze expressed admiration for Spyro’s authenticity, describing him as “totally different and too real.” He commended the younger artist for staying true to himself and for a personal gesture he made during their meeting.
“One very important thing you guys need to know is that this guy is totally different and too real,” Faze wrote. “@spyro__official, I want you to know I really appreciate you… God bless you, much.”
The heartfelt exchange has since drawn attention online, with fans praising Spyro for honoring a pioneer and Faze for his humility and enduring impact on Nigerian music.
