Nigerian music star Adekunle Gold surprised his followers on social media by gifting the sum of N250,000 each to several individuals who graduated with first-class degrees.

The initiative, which began on X (formerly Twitter), sparked excitement and gratitude among many beneficiaries who praised the singer for his generosity and kindness.

The gesture began with a post from Adekunle Gold on July 16 stating:

"If you graduated with First class, post your transcripts."

This call-to-action prompted numerous users to share proof of their academic achievements. Adekunle Gold reviewed submissions and sent out financial gifts to selected individuals.

In a follow-up post, the singer wrote:

"OAU Students, don’t bother 😪", while posting a photo of Rick Ross’s album God Forgives, I Don’t.

Refer to his post below:

His resentment stemmed from the fact that in 2015, Adekunle Gold performed at OAU with limited songs, mainly repeating his song Sade amid technical issues. However, unhappy students booed him, allegedly stormed his hotel, manhandled him, and seized N150,000 of his N300,000 fee.

The recipients of the N250K cash gifts quickly expressed appreciation on social media, sharing screenshots of the alerts.

One user, @Abikelere, who was super excited, wrote:

“@adekunleGOLD... Baba God has picked up my call ooo using you sir... no amount of thank you can express my gratitude to you oo. At last, I got an amount tagged to my HND after 12 years of graduation. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu @adekunleGOLD”
