Davido, the award-winning Nigerian singer, has announced that he will be donating N300 million to orphanages across Nigeria to commemorate his birthday.
The singer, who would be 32 on November 21, disclosed the donation plan via his X page.
In the tweet, Davido revealed that the money will benefit several orphanages and charities focused on preventing drug abuse and addiction among young people.
The Grammy-nominated Afrobeats star added that details of the fund’s disbursement will be unveiled soon.
“Once again my birthday this year we Donating to orphanages and a charity that helps young people stay away from drug abuse & addiction. This year is N300m. Details to follow soon,” he wrote.

Content creator and actress Kemi Ikuseedun, popularly known as Mummy Wa, has opened up about her humble beginnings as an actress and content creator.
Ikuseedun known for playing Mummy Wa, the fictitious wife of popular skit maker, Mr Macaroni in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo said: “I once begged strangers on buses to subscribe to my YouTube channel.I would board a bus from Berger to Ikeja, write my YouTube channel name, and share it with people. Most didn’t know how to subscribe or even that they could do so with their Gmail accounts. I pressed people’s phones to get them to subscribe. My first 1,000 subscribers were random people who didn’t know me.”
The busty actress also shared how her father’s advice continues to influence her approach to life and career. “My dad always told me that nothing lasts forever, and I think about that a lot,” she said. “You will be known for different things at different times in your life, and I want to be remembered for more than one thing. I’m still passionate about what I do, but I also want to build a family and be known for other aspects of my life.”
While she remains grateful for her success with playing the role Mummy Wa, she acknowledges that things can change at any moment.
“In as much as I love what I do, anything can happen tomorrow.I want to keep evolving and doing different things. I want to be known for more than just one part of my life.I will still need to build a family. And in as much as it’s still running and I love it, but anything can happen tomorrow”.
Today, fans woke up to find Wizkid’s latest single ‘Dance’ to have been displayed from the top 100 after occupying the top spot.
The massive deduction has led to speculations of stream deduction and drinking from the chart which are the most common heavy penalties Apple Music applies on streaming manipulation.
‘Kese’, released 15, November 2024, has the second lead single on Wizkid’s upcoming album ‘Morayo’, has enjoyed immediate success on streaming platforms reaching NO. 1 on the Apple Music Nigeria Top 100 just hours after its release.
Its disappearance from Apple Music Nigeria Top 100, has created a massive buzz online with some considering it a penalty for streaming manipulation while others think it might be a glitch from Apple Music.
By precedence, such deductions are penalties with Apple Music taking stronger actions in cracking down on streaming manipulations.
It’s left to be seen if the song would rebound back to its previous chart-topping position as this would give credence to suspicion of a glitch or perhaps, Apple Music has dropped the hammer of the biggest act yet in their effort to curb stream farming.
