Afrobeat sensation Davido, announced that he would be donating a whopping ₦300 million to orphanages and charities aimed at keeping young people off the perilous path of drug abuse and addiction.
In a brief but powerful statement, Davido revealed:
“Once again, my birthday this year. We are donating to orphanages and a charity that helps young people stay away from drug abuse & addiction. This year is N300m. Details to follow soon.”
This isn’t the first time the artist has turned his birthday into an act of giving. Back in 2022, Davido established the Davido Adeleke Foundation (DAF) in partnership with various charitable organizations to support vulnerable children across Nigeria. Over the years, his foundation has become a lifeline for many, bridging gaps and creating opportunities for those who need it most.
But let’s be honest: ₦300 million isn’t just a donation; it’s a revolution. It’s a reminder that, in a world where some would rather pop bottles and brag about being rich, Davido is taking the road less traveled and paving it in gold. If philanthropy were an Olympic sport, this man would be collecting gold medals faster than he collects streams on Spotify.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. For Davido, giving isn’t just a random act of kindness; it’s a habit a lifestyle, he’s leveraging his influence, wealth, and fanbase to give directly to those in need.
So, as we wait for the details of this year’s initiative to unfold, one thing is crystal clear Davido doesn’t just sing about love, he lives it. And if birthdays are meant for indulgence, he’s showing us how to indulge in the joy of giving. After all, who needs a fancy yacht when you can set sail on the sea of humanity?
In the words of Davido himself: “We rise by lifting others.” Well, sir, you’re practically levitating at this point.
