Tayo Aina Shares How Davido Helped Him While Stranded in Botswana

Tayo Aina, a well-known Nigerian travel content creator, has shared a heartwarming account of a thoughtful gesture he received from musician Davido while visiting Botswana.

Tayo shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account that he was in Botswana for a shoot and that he was then in a bit of a bind.

Davido and his whole 30BG crew boarded a bus while he waited for transportation, leaving no space for other people.

He ordered an Uber because she thought the bus was too crowded. He was shocked, however, when Davido called out to him and urged him to board.

Despite the obvious inconvenience to his staff, the singer even told them to make room for Tayo.

Tayo Aina was really grateful for the gesture, which demonstrated Davido’s kindness and humility.

He said:

“I have never shared this anywhere before but the first time I met Davido really gave me an understanding of the meaning of Humility.

We were in the sprinter bus in Botswana about to head back to the hotel after filming,

but there was no space as it was filled up with him and the crew.

I was outside on the road tryna order an uber cause I hadn’t even planned on riding with them in the first place.

Door of the bus was closed and the driver was about zooming off.

Can you guys believe that David told the driver to stop, said the crew should open the door and told everybody to shift for me. Lol. Like 30Bg crew should shift for me.

That shit really busted my head. I ended up squeezing in between two of the crew members which made it more inconvenient for them for as the bus was already full.

He probably doesn’t even remember this but it left a very strong impression on me cause if na normal guys sef, they would leave me to go and find uber, talk less of a Superstar.

This was one of the purest acts of humility I have ever experienced from anybody across my travels, inconveniencing yourself just to make someone else not feel left out.

It’s easy to be humble when you have nothing, much harder when you have everything.

That’s the kind of guy David is, someone who is willing to carry everyone along. Shoutout to him! 🙌🏽”
