Rising Ghanaian music promoter Ananzo is celebrating what he calls a life-changing moment after finally receiving a long-promised $5,000 cash gift from Nigerian Afrobeats heavyweight Davido.
The gift, promised months ago, stems from a viral video in which Ananzo energetically vibed to Davido’s song With You. The video caught the attention of the award-winning Nigerian artiste, who publicly commented, “5K US FOR YOU,” signaling his intention to reward Ananzo’s spirited display.
Though the promise generated immense online buzz and gave Ananzo’s career a major lift, many wondered whether the money would ever arrive. As weeks passed, Ananzo remained gracious and hopeful, telling interviewers, “Even if Davido doesn’t give me the $5,000, the exposure alone…” — a sentiment that won him even more fans for his humility.
But now, that patience has paid off.
In a video making waves on social media, Ananzo is seen beaming as he holds stacks of cedi notes, the Ghanaian currency equivalent of the pledged amount. The handover was made by a member of Davido’s camp, marking the fulfillment of a promise that had become something of a legend among fans.
Visibly emotional, Ananzo gave heartfelt thanks to Davido, hailing him as “the one and only OBO” and acknowledging the profound impact the gesture has had on his journey.
