LAGOS, Nigeria –The David Adeleke Foundation (DAF) of multiple award-winning musical star Davido has donated N237,000,000 (US$304,000) to less privileged children and orphanage homes across Nigeria.

This motivated me to establish the DAF to execute our mission effectively.”
In October 2022, the foundation began reaching out to eminent and compassionate Nigerians, seeking their support in raising funds for the less privileged across the country.

His music’s popularity, with over 2 billion streams worldwide, cements his position as Africa’s beat ambassador.
The success of his recent album “Timeless,” reaching the second spot on Billboard’s World Album chart with 133 million streams in just ten days, further solidifies his reputation as a successful artist.
