Nigerian singer Chidinma Ekile has shared a thought-provoking message with her extensive followers, challenging the popular catchphrase “We Rise By Lifting Others,” often associated with Davido and others.
Disagreeing with the notion, the gospel singer cautioned against excessive generosity, emphasizing that one can actually fall by lifting others. She urged her fans to set limits on the assistance they provide and not allow guilt trips or manipulation to compel them into financial support.
Chidinma Ekile’s message sparked agreement in the comment section, with many echoing the sentiment that givers need to establish boundaries to avoid being drained or taken advantage of.
This perspective contrasts with Davido’s
Taking to the comment section, many concurred with her.

Weeks back, Davido had lamented over the level of ingrate in the world, as he expressed heartbreak over the level of ungratefulness in the industry.
He stated that he has learned his lesson while quoting the popular catchphrase “street no get money”.
This came after his former friend and colleague, Dammy Krane resumed dragging him over an alleged debt from their hit song, Pere.
He claimed that all efforts to reach out to the singer last year, proved abortive, which left him with no choice but to publicly call him out.
Following a public call-out by Nigerian businessman, Abu Salami over an alleged debt Davido owed him, Dammy Krane had appealed to the billionaire musician to pay him his debt for his daughter’s sake, whose school fees need to be paid.
Replying to him, Davido recounted how he housed and fed him in Atlanta when he was homeless and more and Dammy hit back sharing his side of the story.
