Nigerian singer, Oludipe David, better known as Spyro, has disclosed the reason he picked Tiwa Savage to feature on the remix of his hit song ‘Who Is Your Guy’, instead of other big names like Olamide and Asake.
The 28-year-old singer, during a recent interview with NigerianTribuneTV’s Celebrity Chit-Chat, said the idea for a remix came from conversations with his team about expanding the reach of the already popular record.
“The original song was so big at the time, and then Tunde had just reached out to me, shout-outs to him, and he was like, ‘Oh, this song is big right now, we need to take it to the next level, what would you want to have on it?’’ the singer said.

The singer disclosed that he was given a list of over five artists to pick from, noting that some big names in Afrobeats were included.
“He gave me a list of about five artists at the time. I remember that Olamide was on the list, that Asake was there, and very big names,” he added.
He added that he chose Tiwa Savage after going through the options. “So I just told him to give me a bit time to pre-run it and come back to him,” he said. “And I came back to him… I told him I wanted Tiwa Savage.”
Spyro praised Tiwa Savage for her work on the track and described her as professional and supportive throughout the process.
“She heard the song, she loved it, and she didn’t even stress us at all,” he said.
“Very fantastic personality, very sweet.”
According to him, the recording process was smooth once she agreed to join the project.
“She recorded it and sent it back, we fixed the date for the video shoot, boom, and that was it,” Spyro added.
The remix, released in March 2023, became one of the most successful versions of the song. It climbed high on the charts and helped ‘Who Is Your Guy’ reach new audiences across Nigeria and beyond, becoming one of Spyro’s biggest hits.
