Spyro Denies Fathering Nengi’s Newborn Amidst Viral Rumors

Spyro Denies Fathering Nengi’s Newborn Amidst Viral Rumors

Afrobeats singer Spyro has addressed the swirling rumors suggesting that he is the father of reality TV star Nengi Hampson’s newborn child. The speculation emerged after Spyro shared a congratulatory post on social media celebrating Nengi’s announcement of welcoming her first child in February.

The singer, who has previously admitted having a huge crush on Nengi, posted a video of her while expressing his excitement over her newfound motherhood. His heartfelt congratulations, however, sparked unfounded rumors that he might be the father of the baby.

In response to the speculation, Spyro took to his Instagram story to set the record straight. His message expressed disappointment at the false assumptions, hinting at the negative mentality of some Nigerians.

“Nigerians, very ignorant set. Exactly why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer… But then again, what do I even know? Congratulations again, my Nengs.” — Spyro

The rumors did not stop at Spyro. Just a few weeks ago, Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, was also accused of being responsible for Nengi’s pregnancy. The governor quickly dismissed the allegations, attributing them to political enemies trying to tarnish his reputation.

Opinion: The Dangers of Baseless Speculation

The baseless rumors surrounding Nengi’s child highlight a persistent problem in today’s social media landscape—quick assumptions and the spread of misinformation. Spyro’s reaction suggests a genuine frustration over the issue, hinting at the way social media narratives can negatively impact the lives and reputations of innocent individuals.

It’s worth noting that the ease with which misinformation spreads could be damaging, especially when it targets celebrities whose personal lives are already under intense scrutiny. Spyro’s response emphasizes a need for more caution and fact-checking before jumping to conclusions.

What do you think? Should celebrities just ignore such rumors or continue to address them publicly?
