Sadly, there are cases of people who fall from grace to grass. They move from an enviable status to a lower rank and this is the situation of Mr Spellz.

DJs and producers made music as well as beats from his funny pronunciation. At some point, he appeared at shows with popular Nigerian celebrities and raked in cool cash but all that seems to be a thing of the past now.
In a sad video shared on TikTok by @sgkkbaby, Spellz was spotted seeking alms at the Abia mall.
