    AG Baby Surprises Nigerians First-Class Graduates with Cash Gifts

    Nigerian Afropop star Adekunle Gold, popularly known as AG Baby, has captured national attention with a heartwarming act of generosity, awarding cash prizes of ₦250,000 each to several Nigerians who graduated with first-class honors.

    The unexpected initiative kicked off on Tuesday, July 16, 2025, when the award-winning singer took to his X (formerly Twitter) account with a simple invitation:

    “If you graduated with First class, post your transcripts.”

    What followed was a flood of academic testimonials and credentials from Nigerians eager to share their academic accomplishments. AG Baby personally reviewed the submissions, selecting multiple recipients for the cash reward, a move that quickly went viral.

    Soon after, screenshots of bank alerts and emotional appreciation posts began circulating across social media platforms, with beneficiaries expressing gratitude for what many described as a life-changing gift.

    One recipient, @Abikelere, who earned her Higher National Diploma over a decade ago, shared:

    “@adekunleGOLD… Baba God has picked up my call ooo using you sir… no amount of thank you can express my gratitude to you oo. At last, I got an amount tagged to my HND after 12 years of graduation. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu @adekunleGOLD.”

    Another grateful beneficiary, @Hakeem_Onitolo, praised the singer, writing:

    “BIG FISH!!! God bless you richly.”

    Users like @itschargiee and @TheGigs0x revealed they were in financial distress before receiving the surprise windfall.

    “I literally had 1700. Thank you @adekunleGOLD,” one shared.
    “Feels like a dream. I cannot put it in words!!! I had NO in my account,” another added, referring to a zero bank balance.

    Amid the wave of praise, Adekunle Gold couldn’t resist taking a light-hearted jab at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) students. Sharing an image of Rick Ross’s God Forgives, I Don’t album cover, he posted:

    “OAU Students, don’t bother.”

    The comment referenced a difficult experience during his performance at the university in 2015. At the time, the artist, then relatively new to the scene, had few songs in his catalogue and reportedly repeated his breakout hit Sade several times on stage.

    Technical issues further marred the show, resulting in booing from students, who allegedly stormed his hotel and withheld part of his performance fee.

    Despite the memory, AG Baby’s recent show of kindness has been met with admiration from fans, who commended him for celebrating academic excellence and extending financial support to deserving Nigerians.

    The initiative highlights Adekunle Gold’s evolving public image, from once-bashed performer to a champion of talent, achievement, and goodwill.
