How is Drake White’s Bus Driver Doing After Suffering a Stroke Behind the Wheel?
The accident, which occurred on Oct. 23, 2025, took place after bus driver Daveo Wilmont suffered a stroke behind the wheel.
In White’s update, the singer says Wilmont is “still battling at his home in Natchez, Mississippi.”
“Please continue to pray for his recovery,” White added.
A GoFundMe page was established to support Wilmont’s recovery in October. The campaign has raised nearly $16,000 as of Tuesday (April 7.)
Details in the GoFundMe explain that Wilmont’s stroke was a result of a blood clot in his brain, and he spent several days in the intensive care unit (ICU).
In an update from March 30, Wilmont’s wife Leone describes him as a talented musician who is “one of the best drummers I have seen play” and “played drums with some of the greatest artists in the music industry.”
She says that music is crucial to his recovery.
