In other news, Spyro has officially put his money where his mouth is, but the response he got was not what he expected.
The singer, who recently made headlines for saying nobody wants to learn handwork anymore and announcing his own plans to become a tailor, has reportedly offered a dancer ₦5 million to enroll in a vocational training programme. According to sources, Spyro was impressed by the dancer's energy during a performance and decided he would sponsor him to learn a trade.

But the dancer, identified as a popular Lagos-based performer, reportedly turned down the offer. He explained that he has already specialised in "legwork" and has no plans to learn any other kind of work. Sources say he told Spyro:
"Legwork is handwork. I have already mastered my own trade."

The exchange has since sparked conversations online, with many praising the dancer for knowing his worth and others questioning whether Spyro is genuinely trying to help or just looking for a new apprentice.

But here is what the blogs did not tell you.
Spyro offering the dancer ₦5 million is not because he was impressed by his performance; it is because Spyro has been struggling with his own tailoring lessons and needs someone to practice on. He figured that if he paid a dancer to learn tailoring, the dancer could become his personal sewing assistant. The dancer saw through the plan immediately and declined. He is not a tailor; he is a survivor.
