  This disclosure comes after Junior Pope was questioned on some marital challenges and lessons he has learned in the many years of his marriage with his wife. Speaking in an interview with The Punch, he disclosed that their marriage wasn’t rosy in the first year. He recounted how he borrowed his wife’s gold jewelry to borrow money from an aboki. He said; “Back then it seemed like it wasn’t working, it was not easy at all. I have not mentioned it before but to the glory of God, today let me share this. After I got married, the first year was not rosy; I collected my wife’s gold jewelry and used it to borrow money from aboki. So, I give Him the glory for giving me a patient wife. “Why would I want to touch a woman like this? God forbid. One thing I told myself and God is that the day I lay my hands on my wife, let me run mad. Instead, I walk away”, he answered after being asked if he has gone to the limit of hitting his wife.

While explaining how he combines fame with being a family man, Junior Pope said; “My dad taught me all even though he didn’t spare the rod to spoil me. I grew up with a disciplinarian, so you need to pick from all areas and add up. So, the part I didn’t see in my dad is what I am giving to my children and that is the playful part. This is how I try to balance the equation. As a celebrity, you must know where you are coming from. Once you let this celebrity thing get into your head, then you are heading for a fall. Imagine as big as Mercy Johnson is, and the way she is so humble to her husband, why will their home have a problem?

Spyro who's your guy song inspiration

The singer who became a sensation after releasing his hit track ‘Who’s Your Guy‘ made this known while speaking in an interview with Punch. He said that he believes that there is a spiritual and physical part to everything and he ensures that he takes the spiritual part equally serious in his music. Spyro said: “I usually go into God’s presence to seek His face, His blessings and directions, days before releasing any song. I don’t do anything without first enquiring from God. I am of the opinion that there is a physical part to things, and also a spiritual part; so I make sure I take that spiritual part seriously. One needs someone working behind the scenes for one.” On the remix of his popular song, the singer revealed that it had been Tunde Ednut, an Instagram blogger, that had reached out to him to take the song to another level.

He said: “Tunde Ednut (singer-turned-blogger) reached out to me and said we needed to take the song to the next level, and we should do a remix. He asked me who I had in mind. We went through a couple of names together, before agreeing on Tiwa. I chose Tiwa because I knew she would bring in as much value to the song as I thought; and, she actually did. We connected on different levels. She is an amazing person with a good heart, and I love the fact that she is passionate about the things she does. I am happy I made the remix with her.” Speaking on what inspired the ‘Who’s your guy’ song, he said: “It was actually a love song when I first recorded in 2021 as freestyle. However, when I wanted to release it in 2022, I decided to revamp it and make it more relatable to as many people as possible. It’s not just about lovers; ‘one’s guy’ could be anyone, ranging from family and friends.”
