Ghanaian music promoter Eugene Ananzo Junior, popularly known as Ananzo, has described the $5,000 he received from Nigerian musician Davido as life-changing.
In an interview with Headless YouTuber on June 24, 2025, Ananzo responded to comments from X users who claimed the money was not significant and could not be considered life-changing.
The amount, equivalent to a little over GH¢50,000, was given to him by Davido in appreciation for his efforts in promoting the singer’s song “With You,” which features Omah Lay.
Addressing the criticism, Ananzo explained that the money meant everything to him, especially considering his background and the struggles he has faced.
He emphasised that where he comes from, it would take years of hard work to earn that amount.
Ananzo, who is widely known as the “Washing Bay Promoter” because of his experience working as a car washer, said people from privileged homes may not understand the impact such a gesture could have on someone like him.
He added that Davido’s gift would go a long way in supporting his dreams.
“Where I’m coming from, to see GH¢50,000, you would have to work for about four to seven years to be able to say, ‘This is mine.’ So for me, $5,000 is everything. It’s life-changing money for someone from the streets. It would take so long to gather that kind of money. Those saying it’s not life-changing, I don’t know where they are coming from, maybe they are Dbees,” Ananzo said.
