David Adeleke, the popular Nigerian singer, who is also known as Davido, has said he doesn’t regard cannabis, commonly called weed, as a hard drug.
The singer stated this while discussing his foundation’s planned donation to orphanages and fight against drug abuse on the latest episode of The Morning Hustle podcast.
Davido said some people are accusing him of being a hypocrite for donating to fight against drug abuse while still smoking weed but he doesn’t regard weed as a hard drug.
He said: “This year, I’m donating to the fight against drug abuse among youths. I don’t count weed as a hard drug. Some people are saying I smoke weed but I don’t count weed as a drug.
“A lot of people have been going through a lot recently. Drug addiction is becoming rampant. So I want to donate to that cause to help them quit.”
