Veteran musician, Babafryo, recently tackled Davido for donated 250 million naira to orphanages. In a video on his Instagram page, the veteran noted that when he was depressed and needed help, some of his colleagues did not attend to him but Davido went ahead to donate 250 million naira to ‘unknown’ orphans.
Read what he said below,
“When I had issues and was depressed, some of my colleagues did not help me, But now, I am seeing that Davido gave out 250million naira to orphanages that we don’t know. We need to change the way we think as Nigerians. I am not against him giving to Orphans.”

@ninamilikee wrote, “We say no to iniquity…..giving is a great virtue but truth is many privileged people I know give publicly in order to receive accolades and increase their popularity, they shun giving in private because there is no publicity to be gained by that. I’m not saying that this is d case with Davido because I hear he does more giving in private….I wonder why he and others didn’t respond to you in your time of distress. Well I think in all things good and bad, there are lessons to be learnt. I don’t depend on man but God, therefore any man that helps me is just a vessel for God to reach me. It’s well.” (sic)
