Nigerian singer Spyro is trending for the wrong reasons after his latest post appeared to take a jab at women from Lekki.

The singer had taken to social media to share a video of his fiancée, Janet, showering her with praises for standing by him.

Legit.ng recalled that the singer announced their engagement in a romantic video.

However, what was meant to be a romantic gesture quickly turned controversial.

In the now-viral video, Spyro referred to his fiancée as his “Jesus baddie”, thanking her for rescuing him from what he described as the temptation of Lekki women.

The singer wrote:

“Eiii GOD. My very own Jesus baddie @_callme_njure. Thank you again for saving me from Lekki girls o. Na me know wetin my eyes see.”

His comment immediately sparked criticism online, with many Nigerians accusing the singer of reinforcing negative stereotypes about women living in the upscale Lagos area.
