According to the documents shown, the funds were sent from Spaceship Collective, Burna Boy’s brand entity, to the NGO’s Zenith Bank account.
With the ₦150 million contribution, Burna Boy’s latest gesture has now surpassed Don Jazzy’s widely celebrated ₦100 million donation made in October 2024.
It also added to Burna Boy’s own previous support, which included a reported $145,000 donation to VDM in December 2025.
Speaking on the donation, the activist revealed that the funds will be used to secure the release of inmates who are in prison and also clear the medical bills of impoverished Nigerians.

“I have a question though. Will he be able to call out people that make this level of donation to the NGO out if he finds himself in a situation to call them out?”
@mr_chiboi shared:
“Whether you like Burna or not, this is heavy. ₦140m to an NGO is impact, not noise. Now the real conversation is accountability and what this money turns into for people on ground.”
@TeegeeAmore noted
“Burna boy is one of the lowkey philanthropists out there. I doff my hats to his contribution to giving back to the society. He’s an idol and an Icon Let love lead”
@dan_evaa noted:
“It’s not even funny anymore, I’m glad people are starting to realize how cunny he is”
