29th February, also known as leap day or leap year day, is a date added to most years that are divisible by 4, such as 2016, 2020, and 2024.
A leap day is observed because the Earth’s period of orbital revolution around the Sun takes approximately six hours longer than 365 whole days. A leap day compensates for this lag, realigning the calendar with the Earth’s position in the Solar System; otherwise, seasons would occur later than intended in some calendar year.
A person born on 29th February may be called a “leapling”, a “leaper”, or a “leap-year baby”. Some leaplings celebrate their birthday in non-leap years on either 28th February or 1st March, while others only observe birthdays on the authentic intercalary date, 29th February.
Mavin Records signee, Korede Bello is one celebrity who has to wait for every four years to mark his birthday, as he was born on 29th February 1996.
His fans have taken to his Twitter page to wish him a very beautiful birthday.

So if you have a friend whose birthday is today, ensure you celebrate them to the fullest, as their next birthday will be in the next four years (LOL).
