Nigerian music star David Adeleke popularly known as davido has revealed how some people thought he has spent the money he promised to the orphanage.
In 2021, the music star raised over N200m from various Nigerian celebrities within 72 hours after he shared his account details on social media during his birthday.
In a chat with South African comedian and tv host, Trevor Noah, the music star recounted how he was able to raise that huge amount of money. He said
“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. I was scared it came up to $600,000 and at this point, I’m like can I keep this?”
“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 orphanage homes and within that period he bought two cars, one was a Lamborghini.
He said, ” I started getting tweets like ‘this dude kept the money.’
During the discussion, the music star revealed that his goal would be to raise funds every year as part of activities to mark his birthday while praying that his colleagues and friends would always show support for his kind-hearted act.
