Nigerian artist Spyro has come to the defense of reality TV star Nengi Rebecca Hampson, publicly addressing the allegations made by a controversial blogger. The blogger had claimed that Nengi secretly welcomed a child fathered by Douye Diri, the Governor of Bayelsa State. In response, Spyro took to Instagram to share a video montage of Nengi’s photos and urged the public to stop harassing her.
In his post, Spyro called for people to focus on their own lives and stop spreading rumors about Nengi. He described the child as a “BIG gift” from God and praised Nengi as being “beautiful inside and out.” His supportive message was clear: “Honestly, Ya’ll should pls leave her alone and face your lives o 🙄 That baby is of the lord and a BIG gift btw❤️ BEAUTIFUL IN AND OUT❤️ always #Nengi.”
This statement came shortly after Nengi herself addressed the rumors, confirming that she was indeed pregnant but denying any connection to the Bayelsa State Governor. She expressed her desire to experience her pregnancy in peace and thanked her supporters for their love.
Spyro’s defense of Nengi follows an emotional post he shared earlier in the day, where he expressed sadness. This was shortly after the news of the controversial allegations broke. Spyro’s followers, many of whom tagged him in the comments section of the news report, were curious about his emotional reaction, especially given his previous expressions of romantic interest in Nengi. In one of his Instagram stories, Spyro revealed, “I’m so sad today,” hinting that the situation had affected him deeply.
The drama surrounding Nengi’s rumored connection to the governor has sparked widespread attention on social media, and Spyro’s emotional reaction only added fuel to the speculation. Spyro has been open about his admiration for Nengi in the past, which led some to wonder if his post was a reflection of his personal feelings toward the reality star.
Spyro’s words and his social media activity suggest a protective stance towards Nengi, as he continues to support her amidst the controversy. It remains to be seen how this situation unfolds, but Spyro’s involvement has certainly made it one of the most talked-about topics in the Nigerian entertainment scene.
