Popular Nigerian Afrobeats icon, David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has once again demonstrated his well-known spirit of generosity by donating ₦3 million to assist a young man in desperate need of life-saving medical treatment.
The beneficiary, a Lagos State University (LASU) graduate and social media personality known online as Baddy of Lagos, had launched a crowdfunding appeal to raise ₦18.3 million for a crucial spinal correction surgery scheduled to take place in India.
As the deadline drew closer, Baddy’s calls for help grew more desperate, resonating with many Nigerians across various social media platforms.
Relief finally came on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, when the ailing influencer shared an emotional update on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that Davido had stepped in with a major contribution.
“Jesus @davido sent me 3m for my correctional surgery, God bless you sir… my idolo,”
he posted, clearly overwhelmed by the unexpected support.

Davido’s intervention proved to be the game-changer. The ₦3 million donation pushed the campaign over its initial target, with reports indicating that the total funds raised have now exceeded ₦22 million—sufficient to cover the surgery, travel expenses, and post-operative treatment.
Obi-Dickson, a close associate who coordinated the fundraising drive, also took to X to confirm the breakthrough:
“Omo, I just saw OBO in my DM right now. @davido dropped N3m. We now have more than we need for the surgery. Thank you, Baddest!”
Social media has since erupted in praise, with fans hailing the award-winning singer for his ongoing commitment to humanitarian causes. This latest act of kindness adds to Davido’s long record of charitable deeds, reinforcing his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most generous celebrities.
From school scholarships to orphanage donations, the DMW boss continues to use his platform to uplift others—proving once more that his impact goes far beyond
