Nigerian singer, David Adedeji Adeleke, who is better known as Davido, is doing his part in the fight against Coronavirus.
The internationally-known singer not only released his new music video,”Dolce & Gabbana,” on Friday but also announced that all the proceeds from the video will go to support Dolce & Gabbana and Humanitas Together for Coronavirus Research fund. The video features Summer Walker.
For Davido, this has been personal ever since his fiancée, Chioma, tested positive for the virus.
Amore for Scientific Research.

Talking about the donation to CNN, Davido said: “I was on tour; she was in London with my son. When we all came back to Nigeria, we were like, because we have travel history, I think it’s best we get tested.
“We had no symptoms. Nobody in the house had symptoms. Out of all 34 of us that got tested, she was the only one that came out positive, which was crazy to us.” She has since recovered and he said she never exhibited any symptoms.
Davido also said Nigeria has been hit hard by the virus, which was why his family donated $1.3 million to the Federal Government in Nigeria and also distributed over 6,000 bags of rice across Osun State.
“People are really going through a hard time,” he continued. “This is the first time something like this has paused the whole world. “A lot of people out here make money from day to day, like, surviving day to day pay. That’s not possible because we all have to stay inside.”
