Davido advises keeping records when helping others

Nigerian music star David Adeleke, known professionally as Davido, has advised individuals to maintain records when performing acts of kindness. During an appearance on ‘The Uncut’ podcast, the singer reflected on how helping others can lead to unexpected consequences, noting that such actions can either elevate or diminish a person.

Davido suggested that while generosity is important, it is prudent to keep evidence of financial or other forms of assistance provided to others. He stated, ‘In life, you never know where your kindness can take you. It can either take you up or down. That is why when you help people, always keep receipts.’

The singer did not elaborate on the specific personal experiences that prompted this advice. His comments have sparked debate on social media, with some users supporting the need for boundaries and documentation, while others argue that true acts of kindness should be selfless and without the need for proof.
