The generous gesture, valued at approximately ₦20 million at current exchange rates, has sent social media into a frenzy.

In a video posted on February 19, 2026, Akpororo displayed bundles of dollar notes, repeatedly questioning the motive behind the windfall. “What do you want from me?” he asked rhetorically, captioning the post with the same question to the “Odogwu” singer.

Anticipating scepticism, the Warri-born entertainer stressed the footage’s authenticity, showing his face clearly while holding the cash to dispel deepfake speculation.

This act follows Burna Boy’s recent generosity, having reportedly gifted ₦10 million to an MC at a separate event. The “African Giant” has built a reputation for consistent philanthropy within the entertainment industry.

Fans flooded social media with reactions, celebrating the bond between the two entertainers while humorously seeking their own share of the blessing.
