Bisina SomtoNigerian music sensation David Adeleke, professionally known as Davido, celebrates his 31st birthday today, marking not just another year in his life but also the culmination of a 11-year journey in the music industry.
As we extend our warm wishes to the “Omo Baba Olowo,” let’s take a moment to reflect on six instances where Davido made headlines.
One Million Giveaway
Davido’s philanthropy has left an indelible mark on many lives, with his “One Milli Giveaway” standing out as a testament to his commitment to fans. From supporting Jide Sanyaolu’s education in 2015 to resolving miscommunication issues with an impatient fan who eventually received both 1 million Naira and a visit to Davido’s house.

DMW Crew Love
Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), Davido’s record label, has become synonymous with success and camaraderie. In 2019, Davido embarked on a car shopping spree for his crew members, presenting Aloma DMW with a Mercedes Benz and promising similar gifts to others.
His personal assistant, Lati, received a Benz worth N70 million, and in June 2022, crew member Santusgee became a proud owner of a Toyota Camry. Also, for his 27th birthday, Davido treated his entire crew to Rolex watches, highlighting the artist’s dedication to those around him.
Mo’Hits Reunion at Davido’s 30BG Concert
In a historic moment at his 2017 30BG concert, Davido fulfilled the collective wish of many Nigerians by orchestrating a Mo’Hits reunion. This concert brought together all members of the defunct music group, marking the first time they performed together since their disbandment in December 2017. Davido’s ability to turn dreams into reality added another layer to his influence in the Nigerian music scene.
Fall on You Concert:
Davido’s spontaneity extends to impromptu performances, demonstrating his lively and energetic character. From surprising a couple at their wedding in Ghana to organizing a mini concert and open mic night for fans camped outside his house, Davido’s commitment to bringing joy through music is evident.
#EndSARS Advocacy
Davido used his influential social media platform to actively speak out against police brutality during the 2020 #EndSARS protests. Beyond virtual support, he took action by visiting Abuja, where he intervened to halt the indiscriminate arrest of individuals by SARS officials.
Birthday Fundraising and Donation
As a testament to his growing philanthropy, Davido recently surpassed his previous acts of benevolence by donating a whopping N250 million to orphanages nationwide.
This substantial contribution followed a remarkable display of solidarity from industry colleagues, friends, and fans who collectively gifted him over 200 million naira in cash for his 29th birthday.
As Davido celebrates his 31st birthday, his journey in the music industry intertwines with a legacy of generosity, camaraderie, and advocacy. From the One Milli Giveaway to the Mo’Hits reunion, Davido continues to redefine what it means to be a music icon, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of his fans and the communities he touches.
