    Nigerian superstar, Davido Adeleke has opened up on the motivation behind his N250 million crowdfunding pledge to charities and how some individuals believed he used the funds he pledged to give to orphans on his birthday in 2021.

    It would be recalled that the singer received N200 million in 72 hours from family and friends after sharing his account information on social media on his birthday in 2021.

    In a recent interview with South African comedian and TV broadcaster Trevor Noah, the music icon described how he was capable of raising that enormous sum of money.

    Davido revealed that he never anticipated crowdfunding to hit such a huge figure.

    Speaking on the inspiration behind the donation, Davido revealed that his father encouraged him not to keep the money to himself despite cheers from his fanbase.

    “I started calling famous people…I was like c’mon you know I made a hit song for you last year. I was like everybody that I have helped in one way or the other, that’s why this tour is called we rise by lifting others. I was scared it came up to $600,000 and at this point, I’m like can I keep this?” he said.

    “We know that so much is going on around the world and I was like I can’t be that insensitive and I spoke to my dad who is my mentor and he said ‘you know you can’t keep that money.’ A lot of people were like no keep it, you’ve done so much for the community.”

    The singer went on to reveal how some people felt he had spent the money on himself because it took time to disburse the money to the orphanage homes.

    “I woke up the next day, reflecting on my whole life and how God has blessed me. So we decided to donate all $600,000 to orphanages across the country. Just for accountability, it took months to disburse because we had to know which orphanage is real,” he explained.

    “Then I started getting tweets like ‘this dude kept the money.’ Because after that, I bought two more cars. I bought a Lamborghini…that was just my money though.”

    DAVIDO: I got $600,000 in donations but my Dad told me I can't keep that money. We think the same.

    Davido raised N200M over 72 hours after he shared his account details on social media during his birthday in 2021.

    The music star and father of three said his goal is to raise funds every year as part of activities to mark his birthday.

    He prayed that his colleagues and friends would continue to support his benevolent act.
