This practice began two years ago when, in an impromptu move, he tweeted his bank account number, prompting his fans to contribute nearly $400,000.Reflecting on the viral moment, he recalled,
I pledged to orphanages every year on my birthday, and I’ve done it for three years now. It started two years ago when I randomly tweeted my account number, and my fans ended up sending me almost $400,000.
It became a huge story, and my dad called me, telling me I couldn’t keep the money. So, we decided to donate it to a good cause, which was a motherless babies’ home. We repeated the same gesture for the second year, and this year, I’m using my own money through my foundation.
In addition to his charitable work, Davido expressed a strong desire to help address the growing issue of drug abuse, particularly among young people. This year, his donations will specifically target children struggling with drug addiction.
