David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is a Nigerian singer. He blends traditional African elements with global mainstream pop. 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.
1. The Birthday Largess To 292 Orphanages In Nigeria
