Ghanaian TikTok sensation and music promoter, Eugene Ananzo Junior, popularly known as Ananzo Official, has revealed that he is yet to touch the $5,000 gifted to him by Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido.
In an interview with Asieduwaa Akumia on Joy Prime, Ananzo expressed profound gratitude to the award-winning singer for fulfilling his promise after a video of Ananzo singing Davido’s song ‘With You’ went viral. The video, recorded while Ananzo was working at a car wash in Takoradi, drew massive attention on TikTok and was later reposted by Davido himself.
Speaking during the interview, Ananzo said, “I believe God transformed himself into Davido to come and bless me and my team..” He clarified that although he has received the money through Davido’s representatives, he has not spent any of it yet.
“I have not touched the $5,000 Davido gave me. It is there,” he said. When asked what he plans to do with the money, he simply responded, “It will come in the media soon.”
The money came after Ananzo’s passionate cover of ‘With You’, which features Omah Lay, gained momentum online in April 2025. Davido, impressed by the sincerity and energy in the video, commented on TikTok, “5K US for you. OLS contact @deekay_dmw,” and kept his word by arranging for the funds to be sent.
The gesture sparked widespread praise, with social media users hailing Davido for supporting raw talent. Within days, Ananzo’s TikTok following skyrocketed from about 91,000 to over 600,000. His video has since clocked more than 16 million views and 2 million likes, turning him into a breakout digital star.
Ananzo’s rise to fame has been anything but conventional. For over a decade, he worked at a local washing bay to fund his secondary school education, often entertaining customers with impromptu singing. A video of him vibing to King Paluta’s ‘Makoma’ in 2024 set the stage for his online breakthrough.
He has also acknowledged the role of Nigerian activist and influencer Very Dark Man (VDM), who helped amplify his story. In a heartfelt thank-you video, Ananzo prostrated in appreciation, a gesture that resonated widely with viewers.
Despite the fame and sudden fortune, Ananzo says he remains committed to his roots. He plans to continue working at the washing bay as part of his personal brand, while nurturing his dream of becoming one of Africa’s leading music promoters.
“I’m still that boy from the bay,” he said. “But now the world is listening.”
