Music superstar, David Adeleke aka Davido is working to raise money for Coronavirus research with a new music video called D&G featuring American R&B star, Summer Walker.

In an interview with CNN’s Chloe Melas monitored by TheConscienceng, Davido said he plans to donate proceeds of the video, in collaboration with global fashion label, Dolce and Gabbana, to Humanitas University to strengthen efforts toward scientific research on coronavirus for the benefit of global health.

Davido hails from the accomplished Adeleke family which has already donated $1.3 million to help fight Covid-19 in Nigeria, in addition to some $617,000 worth of rice donated in Osun State.

Signed to Sony Music (RCA in the U.S.), Davido has performed several high-profile dates and festivals, including a sold-out show at London’s O2 Arena in 2019 — the first solo African artist to mark the accomplishment
