Nigerian music sensation David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has once again warmed hearts across social media with his latest act of generosity.
The singer recently gifted Ghanaian TikToker #Ananzooficial a staggering $5,000 after coming across a passionate cover of his song With You, a standout track from his newly released fifth studio album, 5ive.
The TikToker’s performance, filled with raw emotion and musical finesse, captured the soul of the original track, resonating not just with fans but with Davido himself.
The video quickly went viral, prompting widespread praise for both the artist’s talent and Davido’s generous response.
Reacting to the heartfelt cover, Davido left a comment under the video that sent the internet buzzing: “5K US for OLS, contact #deekay-dmw.”
The message was a nod to both his signature slang and his well-known team member, Deekay, effectively confirming that the funds would be delivered.
Fans flooded the comment section with praise, commending the singer for uplifting a young African creative. “Davido just changed that guy’s life,” one user wrote, while another added, “This is why he’s the GOAT. Always giving back.”
Davido’s 5ive, released on April 18, 2025, has already made waves across global streaming platforms. The 17-track album features a rich mix of Afrobeats and soulful collaborations, including “With You,” a fan-favorite featuring fellow Nigerian star Omah Lay.
Since its release, the album has topped multiple charts, amassed millions of streams, and sparked trending dance challenges and covers from fans worldwide — including the one by #Ananzooficial that captured Davido’s attention.
This isn’t the first time Davido has gone viral for his spontaneous and heartfelt gestures. Just days before gifting the TikToker, he made headlines for surprising his wife Chioma with a brand-new G-Wagon AMG G63 to celebrate her 30th birthday.
The luxury SUV was presented at a lavish birthday party, complete with friends, family, and industry figures. In a deeply emotional moment captured on video, Chioma was moved to tears upon receiving the gift, reflecting the personal and affectionate side of the superstar’s generosity.
The party didn’t end with the car; Davido also handed the car dealer an additional $10,000 in cash as a thank-you for facilitating the gift.
The gesture drew applause online, with fans noting his attention to both grand gestures and behind-the-scenes players. “Davido doesn’t just give — he gives with style and sincerity,” a fan tweeted.
Such moments continue to cement his reputation not just as a musical icon, but as a compassionate figure who uses his platform to uplift others.
Davido’s history of philanthropy runs deep. In November 2021, he stunned the nation by raising ₦200 million through a social media campaign and added ₦50 million of his own money before donating the total sum of ₦250 million to 292 orphanages across Nigeria.
It was a historic act that drew admiration both locally and internationally. His efforts ensured thousands of underprivileged children had access to basic needs, including food, healthcare, and education.
His commitment to humanitarian causes has only grown stronger. In July 2023, he donated ₦237 million to support 424 orphanages, positively impacting the lives of over 13,000 children.
Then in November 2024, he pledged an additional ₦300 million to provide aid to orphanages and launch awareness campaigns against youth drug abuse.
These recurring acts of charity highlight his long-term dedication to building a better society through strategic giving.
Even before these headline-making campaigns, Davido’s kindness was evident. In 2018, he donated ₦15 million to cover the surgery costs of a staff member at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
Whether it’s helping individuals in need or lifting entire communities, Davido’s consistent generosity shows that his influence extends far beyond music.
As he continues to dominate charts and stages around the world, he’s also leaving a legacy of love, impact, and empowerment.
