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.

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.
