Social media was set abuzz on Thursday when Nigerian music stars Michael Ajereh, aka Don Jazzy, and Crown Uzama aka Shallipopi, surprised fans with millions of naira in spontaneous giveaways following viral online interactions.
Don Jazzy gifted a woman, Adeyemi Adejoke Abidemi, a total of ?6 million after noticing that her account balance was “not healthy.”
It all started with a trending post on X.com that encouraged users to tag one celebrity to gift them ?1 million.
Adeyemi who tweets as #PopoolaJoke4 tagged #DONJAZZY, writing, “Make I tag #DONJAZZY. I dey always dream about him. Happy new month sir.”
The Mavin Records boss replied, “Akant namba,” prompting her to drop her GTBank details.
Minutes later, she posted a screenshot showing a ?1 million credit alert.
“Jesuuuuuusssssssss, this is huge,” she wrote. “Thank you so much for your incredible generosity. Receiving 1 million naira is beyond anything I expected, and I’m truly grateful. Your support means the world to me. God bless you abundantly sir.”
The surprise didn’t end there as Don Jazzy, moved by her previous balance of just ?67.29, responded, “Amen ooo. That your akant balance is not healthy. I don add another 5 million. More blessings ma.”
Adeyemi confirmed the receipt of the additional N5m with a screenshot of her account balance with N6m.
Excited about the massive top-up, she wrote, “Oluwa oo. I am deeply grateful for this extraordinary blessing. May the Almighty who used you to lift me reward you beyond measure. May your hands never lack, your heart always be at peace, and your generations forever enjoy divine favour. Thank you #DONJAZZY. May God continue to enlarge your coast.”
In response to a critic who questioned her previously low balance, she said, “None of my accounts get 1 naira, I can screenshot all for you, only GTBank get 67 naira.”
Meanwhile, Shallipopi also gifted a million naira each to two of his fans while promoting his song.
“Summer is coming, ready your shorts and bikinis. Don’t forget to take a lil speaker with you in case you wanna jam da Album,” he posted on X on Thursday.
A fan, Samuel Uchechukwu Ifesinachi who tweets #teslime_dmw replied, “Summer is coming, still broke as hell. Money to buy speaker no dey.”
Shallipopi responded, “Imma send u a million if you promise to get yourself a very big JBL.” Ifesinachi eagerly promised to do so, as he shared his account details afterwards.
