Entertainment Davido should’ve distributed N200m birthday donation to music legends – Konga Published on March 27, 2026 By Seun Opejobi googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1500386953281-8'); }); Veteran singer Konga has lamented about what he described as the lack of support from the present crops of Nigerian artists to industry legends. Speaking in a recent episode of the Hits Don’t Lie podcast, the Kabakaba crooner said Davido should have supported Nigerian music legends with the N200 million birthday donations he received from his friends and fans in 2021. DAILY POST recalls that Davido added N50 million of his own money, bringing the total to N250 million, which he donated to 292 orphanages across Nigeria. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1524595905268-5'); }); However, Konga argued that it would have been better if he had used the funds to support struggling music legends, stressing that the funds could have rejuvenated their careers. He said, “The present crops of Nigerian artists need to humble themselves. Nobody is dragging their money with them. But they have used peer pressure to chase a lot of Nigerian music legends into doing menial jobs abroad. “If I were part of Davido’s management, one time his friends contributed money to him, I would have said – ‘Davido, carry this money, go and give it to all these legends… bring Baba Fryo back, bring Daddy Showkey. Give Daddy Showkey, Baba Fryo and others N5 million each.’ “If he had done that, the industry would have waken up. Our legends would have dropped a lot of comeback hits. Our music legends are running away due to lack of support. Look at Lord of Ajasa, is that a joke to you? And someone like Olamide will come out to say Wizkid is the greatest Nigerian artist internationally. Where is that coming from? We have been doing international shows for ages. “You guys are only taking it forward from where we stopped. Fela, King Sunny Ade, Majek Fashek and others have been touring the world for years. Just because our achievements were not documented back then does not mean we did not do anything.” Don't Miss IVD’s late wife’s spirit at work – Sarah Martins mocks Blessing CEO You may like Konga demands 60% of song earnings from Burna Boy for sampling him ‘I’m no longer interested in Grammy, Western validations’ – Davido They’re legends – Osimhen lavishes praises on Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy [VIDEO] ‘Animals’ – Davido reacts to bullying in Edo school We’re in talks with Adeleke’s family to resolve Sophia, Davido custody dispute – Dele Momodu Lawyer fires back at Davido over social media harassment after custody case
