Nigerian singer Davido, also known as David Adeleke, recently mentioned on The Morning Hustle podcast that he does not consider cannabis, or weed, to be a hard drug.
He addressed this topic while discussing his foundation’s upcoming donation to orphanages and efforts to combat drug abuse.
Davido acknowledged that some may see him as hypocritical for donating to anti-drug initiatives while also using weed, but he clarified that he does not view 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.”
