These are why Davido Is the Benevolent King of Afrobeats
Nigerian music star David Adeleke popularly known as Davido isn’t just one of the biggest stars from Africa or afrobeats King but one of the most benevolent of them.
Since his career took center stage in 2012, Davido hasn’t only become a hitmaker but the ‘go-to guy’ by many Nigerians whenever they need help.
This has had nothing to do with him being a billionaire heir to the Adeleke dynasty. For many, he simply just has a good heart and is always willing to help the underprivileged.
We will be highlighting five times the music star doughed out money for people he barely knows.
The Birthday Largess To 292 Orphanages In Nigeria
In 2021 during the build-up to his 29th birthday, Davido took to his social media accounts where he asked his friends to send him money to celebrate the special day. What started off as a joke became one of the most talked-about highlights of the year in the life of a celebrity in Nigeria.
The music star raised N250M in 72 hours from friends and well-wishers. A day later, he announced that he was giving the entire money raised to orphanages across the country. The money was disbursed to 292 orphanage homes in Nigeria.
Scholarship
As they say, it takes only one moment for a person’s life to be changed forever. And that was the case of a certain teenager Suleyman in Ghana whose family couldn’t afford to send him to university over their financial status.
N15M Surgery Operation For Airport Staff
The interesting thing about this particular story is that it was supposed to be a private good deed. In 2018, the singer arrived at the international wing of the Lagos airport when he was met and greeted by some staff of the airport.
The lucky Fan Who Got A Scholarship
The music star has given several people scholarships to various institutions of learning. In 2018, a fan took to Twitter to appeal to him for financial assistance towards his education and he got even more than he bargained for.
