Afrobeats star Davido (David Adeleke) has surprised 20 fans with brand new iPhone 17 Pro Max gifts. The giveaway comes ahead of his 5ive Alive Tour stop in Enugu on Saturday, November 1, 2025.
Sources around the singer said he spent about $25,000, roughly ₦38 million, on the 20 devices. It ties into his ongoing Nigerian run, where Davido brings 5IVE Tour home across key cities this quarter.
Why Davido made the giveaway
Davido is known for high-profile giveaways and crowd-facing charity across Nigeria and abroad, often during tours. From car gifts to tour ticket surprises, he frames generosity as part of the OBO brand today.
The Enugu leg will hold at Michael Okpara Square with thousands expected nationwide. Fans who got the phones are part of an advance list for tour-day meet-and-greet moments there.
This time, the item choice matters. Apple only released the iPhone 17 Pro Max in September, making the device one of the most wanted phones in Nigeria right now.
Tour momentum ahead of Enugu
This gift run also keeps buzz high for the tour’s international close in Atlanta. His Stateside dates already sparked ticket rush, as seen when Davido sparks State Farm Arena tickets.
Clips shared in fan groups showed excited comments about his “always giving” habit. Many said his gesture proves he values those travelling in for the show.
Davido has maintained that fans helped him reach global stages. So he often mixes big-stage plans with local appreciation moments.
Industry watchers note that such high spend also signals confidence in the Enugu turnout. It tells fans the star expects a full arena and loud online coverage.
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at about $1,199, or over ₦1.8 million here. Buying 20 units at once pushes the bill near his reported $25,000 spend.
For loyalists, the phone choice matters as much as the gesture. It places fans on the same tech tier as the star himself.
The 5ive Alive Nigeria stretch runs from late October through December, across six cities. Enugu now looks set to be the most talked-about stop so far
