Singer’s Generous Tweet Reignites Debate Over Past Promise to Support 20 Entrepreneurs
Nigerian music superstar Davido found himself at the center of online drama this week after his spontaneous act of kindness took an unexpected turn. The “Unavailable” singer sent social media into a frenzy when he tweeted about feeling generous and later shared proof of transferring N5 million to a woman for her hair expenses.
While many fans celebrated Davido’s gesture and flooded his mentions with financial requests, social media commentator Daniel Regha brought up an old promise the singer had seemingly forgotten. Regha reminded the public that in March 2022, Davido had pledged to give N20 million each to 20 Nigerians to help grow their businesses during tough economic times – a promise that remains unfulfilled after three years.
“Could send someone N5m with proof, for hair, but couldn’t credit N1m to 20 persons who needed to fund or grow their businesses since on the (16th of March, 2022). Priorities, MISPLACED,” Regha tweeted, sparking heated debates among netizens.
The exchange has divided fans, with some defending Davido’s right to spend his money as he pleases, while others agree with Regha that the singer should prioritize helping struggling entrepreneurs over cosmetic expenses. As the conversation trends, many are waiting to see if Davido will respond to the criticism or perhaps revisit his 2022 pledge.
This isn’t the first time Regha has called out celebrities for what he sees as performative generosity, but his latest critique has certainly struck a nerve, highlighting ongoing conversations about wealth, responsibility, and genuine philanthropy in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
