Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is set to receive a humanitarian award in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, in recognition of his philanthropic activities and contributions to society.
The award presentation and grand celebration, organised by the Novelty Charity Foundation, will hold on Saturday, December 19, 2026, with fans, supporters, admirers and well-wishers expected to attend from different parts of the world.
According to the organisers, the award recognises Davido’s generosity, philanthropic gestures and commitment to supporting vulnerable individuals and less privileged members of society.
The foundation said the recognition also acknowledges the singer’s efforts to deploy his fame, influence and resources towards making positive contributions to humanity beyond his achievements in the entertainment industry.
It noted that true greatness goes beyond fame, wealth and professional accomplishments, stressing that compassion, generosity and the willingness to improve other people’s lives are equally important measures of success.
As part of activities marking the recognition, the foundation will launch a special feeding programme for vulnerable persons from December 1 to 31, 2026.
The initiative, according to the organisers, will provide meals for 500 vulnerable persons every week as a goodwill gesture in honour of Davido and his humanitarian recognition.
The foundation explained that the programme was designed to extend the celebration beyond the award ceremony by translating the spirit of generosity associated with the singer into practical support for disadvantaged people.
In a statement announcing the award, the organisers called on individuals, organisations, friends, well-wishers and members of Davido’s global fan community to support the initiative through voluntary contributions and goodwill.
The foundation clarified that its appeal was not restricted to corporate sponsorship, adding that individuals who shared its commitment to philanthropy and humanitarian service were also encouraged to participate.
It, however, welcomed sponsorships and strategic partnerships to support both the award ceremony and the month-long feeding programme.
The statement, signed by Mr Austin Dafe Mukoro of the Novelty Charity Foundation, urged Davido’s fans and supporters across the world to identify with the initiative and help make the celebration memorable.
