Nigerian singer Chike, known for his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics, recently made headlines with an unexpected act of kindness on social media.
The incident occurred on X (formerly known as Twitter) when a troll took to the platform to criticize the singer, tagging him in a series of disparaging comments.
Chike, rather than reacting with anger or disdain, responded with surprising empathy. He acknowledged the troll’s harsh words by saying, “I know say na hunger, hunger boy, go and eat” suggesting that the criticism might be born out of frustration or hardship.
In a move that has since gone viral, Chike went a step further by sending the troll N1 million, a gesture that left many of his fans and followers in awe.
The singer’s response has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many praising him for his humility and understanding. While some expressed shock at the generous sum, others saw it as a reminder of the struggles faced by many in the country.
Chike’s action has added to his growing reputation not just as a talented musician, but as a compassionate individual who uses his platform to spread positivity.
