OBO enters the chat
Baddy had been crowdfunding online, hoping that kind Nigerians would rally to save his spine and restore his health. With posts and appeals flooding social media, he kept hope alive.
But nothing prepared him for what he described as “beyond imagination.”
On Tuesday, August 5, 2025, the influencer took to X to announce that the Afrobeats star had made a donation of 3 million naira for the surgery.
He wrote:
“Jesus @davido sent me 3m for my correctional surgery, God bless you sir… my idolo.”
Davido’s donation wasn’t just a drop in the bucket. It was the final push that tipped the campaign into success.
Obi-Dickson, the man coordinating the fundraiser, also confirmed the development in another tweet:
“Omo, I just saw OBO in my DM right now. @davido dropped N3m. We now have more than we need for the surgery. Thank you, Baddest!”
With the singer's support, the fundraiser reportedly crossed ₦22 million, clearing all medical, travel, and post-surgery expenses.
