For Nigerian superstar Davido, birthdays are more than personal celebrations; they are opportunities to make a significant impact on society. As the singer marks his 32nd birthday today, he continues his philanthropic tradition with a ₦300 million donation to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) focused on orphanages and drug abuse prevention.
A Legacy of Generosity
Davido’s birthday philanthropy has become a cherished annual tradition, beginning in 2021 when he raised ₦250 million for orphanages across Nigeria. Over the years, his contributions have totalled over ₦787 million, making him one of the most charitable figures in the Nigerian entertainment industry. This year, through his Davido Adeleke Foundation, he is extending his reach to tackle the growing issue of drug abuse among Nigerian youths.

The foundation, established in 2022, focuses on uplifting vulnerable children and supporting causes that drive societal change. In a heartfelt post on his social media platform, Davido emphasised the importance of the initiative: “This year, for my birthday, we are donating to orphanages and a charity that helps young people stay away from drug abuse and addiction. This year is ₦300m. Details to follow soon.”
Addressing Drug Abuse
Davido’s decision to support drug abuse prevention is particularly significant, given the increasing challenges young Nigerians face regarding substance misuse. By partnering with NGOs working in this space, he is not only raising funds but also highlighting an issue that is often neglected. His choice underscores his commitment to influencing change beyond the music industry.

The funds will help expand awareness campaigns, rehabilitation programmes, and community outreach efforts that are crucial in combating addiction. This initiative also reflects his growth as an artist and philanthropist who is deeply invested in the well-being of his fans and the broader society.
A Star-Studded Celebration
In addition to his charitable work, Davido is marking his birthday with a star-studded concert in Atlanta, USA. The event features performances by top Afrobeat artists such as Odumodublvck, Mayorkun, and Ecool, promising a vibrant celebration of his music and achievements. With fans from across the globe flocking to the venue, the concert is a testament to Davido’s enduring popularity and influence.
Despite the celebratory nature of the concert, Davido ensures that his message of giving back resonates through his actions. His ability to balance his global music career with meaningful philanthropy sets him apart as a role model for upcoming artistes and young Nigerians alike.
