Album Talks; Davido Receives Threat From Tekno
Tekno has threatened to sever ties with Davido if he fails to feature him on his next album.
The Pana master took to his Twitter account to announce that Davido shouldn’t talk to him again if he fails to put him on his forthcoming project.
“@davido if the new album comes out and I no dey inside, don’t talk to me again“, Tekno’s post on Twitter read.
This warning is coming 2 days after Davido revealed he wants Pheelz to show some light on his forthcoming album. You would recall how Pheelz hopped on Instagram to reassure Davido that he got his back and their collaboration is a Go.
Nigerian music star David Adeleke popularly known as Davido isn’t just one of the biggest stars from Africa but one of the most benevolent of them.
Since his career took center stage in 2012, Davido hasn’t only become a hitmaker but the ‘go-to guy’ by many Nigerians whenever they need help.
This has had nothing to do with him being a billionaire heir to the Adeleke dynasty. For many, he simply just has a good heart and is always willing to help the underprivileged.
We will be highlighting five times the music star doughed out money for people he barely knows.
The birthday largess to 292 orphanages in Nigeria
In 2021 during the build-up to his 29th birthday, Davido took to his social media accounts where he asked his friends to send him money to celebrate the special day. What started off as a joke became one of the most talked-about highlights of the year in the life of a celebrity in Nigeria.
The music star raised N250M in 72 hours from friends and well-wishers. A day later, he announced that he was giving the entire money raised to orphanages across the country. The money was disbursed to 292 orphanage homes in Nigeria.
Scholarship to brilliant Ghanaian student
As they say, it takes only one moment for a person’s life to be changed forever. And that was the case of a certain teenager Suleyman in Ghana whose family couldn’t afford to send him to the university over their financial status.
Interestingly, the young man had an excellent A-level result. His predicament was shared on social media and as usual, Davido was on hand to save the day. He gifted Suleyman a five-year full scholarship at his father’s private university.

Well, in his usual display of how big his heart is, Davido replied to the fan with a life-changing response.
“Dm me ur details .. I’ll call the school to let you begin ❤️,” Davido tweeted.

Celebrities are known for gifting their fans on social media with cash gifts from time to time. However, Davido has always stood out from his peers.
He just doesn’t give cash gifts but sometimes makes these gifts life-changing. One time, the music star gifted a random follower on Twitter with the sum of N1M.
The music star made this known via his Twitter page on Friday, June 24, 2022.
“I am smelling a “bloodless coup” in the making by ordinary Nigerians to retrieve their stolen future. Peter Obi may or may not become our President at the end of the day, but his presence has activated something unusual in our history and ordinary Nigerians. Wetin u think?” he tweeted.
The former governor of Anambra state’s candidacy has been greeted with a loud ovation by several celebrities across the country.
It would be recalled that about a week ago, veteran comedian, Okey Bakassi mocked those who criticised his trip to Egypt.
“Peter Obi critics are angry he went to Egypt for serious business instead of medical checkup in London,” he tweeted.
