Veteran Nigerian Ghetto Musician, Friday Igwe, popularly known as Baba Fryo, has criticized Nigerian Hip Hop sensation, David Adeleke (Davido), over the N250 Million donation to Orphanages across the country.
The “Dem go dey pose” crooner, knocked Davido for, allegedly, playing to the gallery and unnecessary show off, stressing that when he needed help as a result of depression, he reached out to the “Ema Dami Duro”, crooner for financial assistance but was neglected and rejected.
Baba Fryo, opined that the multiple award winning Hip Hop singer neglected him, ‘a known face’, in his trying times, only to gift “unknown orphans N250m.”
In a reaction via his Instagram account, the Galala dancer said, “There is something that I have been seeing on social media that someone gifted orphanages N250m. To me, the thing is funny. I remember when I was depressed, they tagged many of my colleagues; they tagged Davido, Tuface, and others but none of them responded. It was people that have never seen me in this life, people that do not know me that responded.
“This N200m that I am hearing about and seeing on social media is surprising to me. If someone like me who is popular and well known was not helped, it is people and orphanages that no one knows that is being helped; they are been given N250m, it is so funny. I will advise Nigerians and Black people to be wise and stop all these things.
“White people do not do all these things. All what we are doing will look so funny to them. I am not saying that giving money to orphanages is a bad thing because I am an ambassador to an NGO that I do not collect a dime from. But funny enough, when I was depressed and had problems, the NGO did not respond. You see how we are. Now I am seeing N200m and they are posting it everywhere; Davido gives money to orphanages and inaugurates a five-man committee to distribute that money. Everything sounds funny to me.
“If I see someone doing good, I appreciate them; I am not saying it is a bad thing. I just want to ask people why someone like me that people know, who cried out; why did they not help the person that they know? It is the people that they do not know or can see their faces that they are helping out with N250m. Let’s all think; will we call that wickedness or ignorance?
“I tagged the Delta, Rivers and Lagos State Governments, none of them came to my aid. Is that wickedness or ignorance? But today I am seeing that N250m is going to be distributed to orphanages all over Nigeria. I will advise Nigerians to open their eyes.”
It would be recalled that few days ago, Davido asked his friends and fans to donate a million naira each to him for his birthday.
With the likes of billionaire, Femi Oyelola, Oba Saheed Elegushi, Alex Iwobi, Obi Cubana, Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Obafemi Martins, Asisat Oshoala among others doling out millions to Davido.
The singer had said he planned to use the money to ‘clear’ his newly acquired Rolls Royce.
Interestingly, days ago, the FEM singer garnered about N201m which was donated to his Wema bank account.
However, in a twist of event, the singer announced that he would be adding N50m to the N201m and donating it to orphanages across Nigeria. He further inaugurated a committee that will disburse the funds.
