Renowned Afrobeat artist Samo has launched a new foundation in honor of his late brother, aiming to continue his legacy through charitable work and community development. The Samo Foundation, unveiled at a star-studded event this week, will focus on empowering underprivileged youth and providing educational opportunities in the late brother’s memory.
In a heartfelt speech, Samo revealed the motivation behind the foundation, sharing that his brother had always been a pillar of support and inspiration in both his personal life and career. “This foundation is my way of ensuring that his dreams live on,” Samo said, visibly emotional. “He believed in the power of education and giving back to the community, and that is exactly what we intend to do.”
The Samo Foundation will initially focus on programs that provide scholarships, mentorship, and skills development to young people in underserved communities. The foundation also plans to collaborate with other organizations to promote mental health awareness, a cause that was close to the late brother’s heart.
Industry colleagues and fans have expressed their support for the initiative, praising Samo for turning his grief into a powerful tool for positive change. With his continued success in the music industry, the Afrobeat star is poised to use his platform to make a significant impact beyond the stage.
