Duncan Mighty buys car for a dancing widow
Singer Duncan Mighty (Wene Mighty) has surprised an elderly widow with a new Toyota Camry after he spotted her dancing to one of his songs, “Miekeraso”.
The musician, who had earlier shared a video of the widow dancing to his song asked fans to locate her as he was going to donate a bag of rice, one goat, three wrappers, a cash price of N20k and pay for her health care.
After finding the woman, the singer instead surprised her with a brand new Toyota Camry and also got her registered at a clinic.
The 35 year old singer shared videos of the widow rejoicing when she received the car on his Instagram.
He wrote: “Brand new Camry for our new Mama we met on IG she was dancing to my new single #miekeraso few days back, got her registered at the clinic. GOD be praised forever amen.”
The singer made his official new single, “Miekeraso’’after making record breaking bangers and chart toppers with the likes of Davido (Aza), Wizkid (Fake Love), Tiwa Savage (Lova Lova), Lil Kesh (Flenjo) and DJ Xclusive (Gimme Love) among others.
