The music superstar has announced his plan to donate ₦300 million to a charity organisation for victims of drug abuse and orphanage homes.
In a new announcement made on X, Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, is ready to kick off his annual donation to charity and orphanage homes.
The mega superstar has finalised plans to make the donation on his forthcoming 32nd birthday, November 21, 2024.
This will be the fourth publicised donation from the musician. It will be recalled that in November 2021, Davido donated ₦250 million to 292 orphanges. This was to commemorate his 29th birthday.
In July 2023, the ‘Awuke’ crooner made another donation worth ₦237 million to over 400 orphanages in Nigeria.
Then in February 2024, he announced a fresh donation worth ₦300 million in collaboration with his foundation, David Adeleke Foundation.
The post he made read, “I and my foundation pledge the sum of 300 million Naira to orphanages around Nigeria … as my yearly contribution to the Nation ❤️ .. details of disbursement tomorrow.”

This will be the first time that Davido will be taking a major stand publicly against drug abuse. However, the Grammy nominee found himself in trouble with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in 2015 for showcasing hard drugs in the music video of his song featuring Meek Mill, ‘Fans Mi’.
