A church reported to be a parish under the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) has caused a stir on social media after it sought financial assistance from Nigerian music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.

In a video shared via the handle cccworldwide1, the church claimed the money was needed to complete the roofing of its worship centre, while directly tagging Davido in the post.

The video, which is circulating online, showed worshippers in white robes conducting service under makeshift tents and canopies while heavy rain fell.

“Hi David, @davido we humbly seek your financial support to cover our church. CCC IGI OLUWAGBIN PARISH. Account No: 1026784448. Bank: UBA. Every seed counts. Kindly RETWEET," the caption of the video read.

Davido clashes with praise singer

Legit.ng previously reported that Davido and northern praise singer Dauda Kahutu caused a buzz with a heated exchange on social media.

The drama began on June 16, 2026, when Kahutu criticised Davido's actions at the 2026 FIFA Countdown Concert over the abducted schoolchildren in Oyo state.

The praise singer accused the musician of politicising insecurity and embarrassing President Bola Tinubu on an international stage.
