Nigerian music star, Davido has sparked reactions online after sharing a humorous but thought-provoking message about helping others.
Speaking on the unpredictability of life, the singer noted that acts of kindness can lead to unexpected outcomes.
“In life, you never know where your kindness can take you. It can either take you up or down,” Davido said.
Just when many expected a motivational message, the award-winning artiste added a surprising twist:
“That is why when you help people, always keep receipts. Don’t play with me.”
His comment, delivered in his usual humorous style, has since generated conversations online, with many agreeing that while helping others is noble, documenting such efforts can sometimes save people from future misunderstandings.
