Why I won't join celebrities in doing giveaways - Waje

Singer Waje has revealed the reason why she is not joining her fellow celebrities in doing giveaways on social media.

Since the coronavirus lockdown declared by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), many celebrities have been on social media sending money into the bank account of their fans.

A fan took to Twitter to asked why Waje isn't joining the trend of giveaways like her fellow celebrities.

The fan tweeted: "@OfficialWaje do giveaway."

And Waje replied simply: "No"

She added: "Should I explain why? If you will allow me I will. See, this period is tough for everyone. Don’t be fooled by social media gimmicks but, the ones who have the hit are those in the slums, people who can’t even afford data. Nursing mothers with no food. Old people with no pension.

"So they are my focus, if I had more than enough, I’ll do giveaway but I don’t so what I have I give to #addacup that’s distributing food and basics to people in Lagos, Abuja, Akwa, Benin. Everyone has to do something. So I’m sorry I can’t do giveaway this season."

She concluded: "So don’t waste your time and send Acct details cause I can’t afford it. Addacup has my attention for now. Stay safe. God bless. No shame in speaking my truth. Some artist are doing giveaway, take advantage of their kindness and use it wisely."
