Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has reportedly donated $100,000 to address medical debts and the incarceration of low-income individuals in Nigeria. The announcement was made by social activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, on December 26, 2025.
The donation is split into two equal parts: $50,000 to settle overdue bills for indigent patients at public hospitals and $50,000 to pay fines for inmates held in correctional facilities.
Footage released on social media shows a hooded figure, identified as Burna Boy, visiting the Kirikiri Medium Security Custodial Centre in Lagos alongside VeryDarkMan. The duo met with prison officials to identify inmates held for minor offenses with fines as low as ₦30,000.
