that he had always wanted to use his platform to serve others.
The N237million was part of donations by fellow music superstars to
celebrate Davido’s birthday anniversary in 2022. He later gave out the
donations through his Foundation to orphanages across the country.
According to Davido, he disbursed over N200 million to several
orphanages in Nigeria, a tradition that started a few years ago around his
birthday.
