Spryo recounts pre-stardom broke moments and how he begged for food

Internet sensation Spyro has shared sad experiences before his breakout, where he begged for help in people’s DMs on social media.

The singer recounted the unpleasant experience of having to also seek financial assistance from his friends just to feed himself.

But with his latest hit song, ‘Who’s Your Guy,’ the singer noted all that was in the past as he thanked God for taking him higher.

In his words, “It’s really amazing what God can do in a man’s life. I remember a couple of months, I was broke, and I was disappointed in life. I felt like, is this dream of mine ever going to come true?

“I will enter into people’s DM to beg for help. And I was literally begging for help in real life. I’ll call my friends on phones Kunle, Christian, Korede just for money to eat.

“Things were that bad and it makes me feel a lot of people are going through the same situation or similar situations. Which is the reason why I always want to take every opportunity to pray for people.

“I pray for whoever is listening to me today, God is going to give you a life-changing testimony. He is going to change your life in a manner that you cannot even comprehend. Like, He’s going to boast with your life.

“I’m still in shock at what God is doing in my life and I extend that same grace to you. If he can do it for one, he can do it for all. Believe and you’ll see it, in Jesus name we pray; Amen!”

Pelumi Nubi, the Nigerian travel content creator driving from London to Lagos, says she will continue the journey — despite surviving a car accident.

On Tuesday, Nubi revealed that she was involved in a car accident.

She also shared a picture of the now-wrecked car she had used for the trip.

The front part of the car was severely mangled while the windscreen had also been shattered.

She accompanied the post with the caption: “Say a prayer for me”.

In a post via her Instagram page on Wednesday, Nubi said she “miraculously survived” the accident.

She said she will be “taking things easy” for now and continue her trip when she regains her strength.

“God has really shown His mercy. Miraculously, I emerged unharmed from the accident – I survived,” she said.

“A big thank you for all your love, prayers, and good thoughts! It’s crystal clear to me that I have a family here online, rooting for me every step of the way.

“I am taking it easy for now, but I’m definitely going to keep going. The journey is far from over, and with renewed strength and your unwavering support, I will continue to move forward.”

Nubi was making the trip in a purple Peugeot 107. The vehicle was customised with features that enabled space for sleeping and dining.

It, however, remains unknown which country she was in at the time of the accident and what caused the crash.

In November, Nubi announced her intention to embark on a solo trip from London to Lagos.

She commenced the trip on January 30.

Pelumi had initially announced that she would arrive in Lagos on March 23.

Ninja, Twitch’s top gamer, diagnosed with skin cancer

Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, the biggest gamer on Twitch, a live streaming service, has been diagnosed with melanoma.

Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer; it develops from the melanin-producing cells known as melanocytes.

In a post via X, Ninja said Jessica, his wife, scheduled his annual skin check-up, where a mole on his foot was flagged for further examination.

The 32-year-old said the mole was later confirmed to be melanoma, adding that he underwent additional procedures to ensure complete removal.

He also urged his fans to prioritise regular skin cancer screenings.

“Alright I am still in a bit of shock but want to keep you all updated. A few weeks ago I went in to a dermatologist for an annual skin/mole check that Jess proactively scheduled for me,” he wrote.

“There was a mole on the bottom of my foot that they wanted to remove just to be careful. It came back as melanoma, but they are optimistic that we caught it in the early stages.

“I had another dark spot appear near it, so today they biopsied that and removed a larger area around the melanoma with the hopes that under the microscope they will see clear non-melanoma edges and we will know we got it.

“I am grateful to have hope in finding this early, but please take this as a PSA to get skin checkups.”

Ninja, who began streaming in 2011, rose to superstardom with the explosion of Fortnite in late 2017.

His streams, which often feature celebrity guests like Drake and Travis Scott, have drawn record viewership on Twitch.

Ninja’s channel is currently the most followed person on Twitch with over 18 million followers. He has nearly 24 million YouTube followers.

Legendary Nollywood actor, Osita Iheme, fondly known as Pawpaw, has revealed that he is happy with the way his memes are used on social media as a means of expression.

The veteran was recently interviewed by NXT KLTR and expressed pleasure with the use of the clips from his films, stating that it shows his old films still have value.

“It’s good to see that your works are doing well out there and people are appreciating what you are doing,” he said.

He continued, “Even though it has been so many years people are still valuing it years later. It’s good and it shows that you have an asset that you can always back up and bank with. Because when you look at 20 years ago, the works you’ve done and you see that people are using it to express themselves, you’d feel happy. I feel happy. “

Over the past few years, hilarious stickers and memes of the star from his old films have been used widely across social media platforms to add a comic flair to conversations. His funny memes weren’t only used by Nigerians, but also in foreign media, especially during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown era.

It is worthy of note that Iheme is one half of the dynamic Aki and Paw Paw duo, the other half being his partner-in-crime, Chinedu Ikedieze.

The pair starred in numerous movies in their prime like Aki Na Ukwa, Village Rats, and Double Wahala, amongst many other iconic films.
