In a recent interview, Davido recalled the story of how he made about $600,000 from his fans in his birthday.
Davido narrated how he had just gotten a Cullinan car, and he made a lighthearted post, asking his fans to give him money to clear his car upon its arrival in Nigeria. He said that the reason he needed a lot of money to clear his car was because clearing a car in Nigeria from abroad costs almost the same thing as buying it. The singer said he made about $600,000 dollars from his fans, just from that post.
Recall that in the year 2021 on his birthday, Davido made a post on Instagram, asking his fans for money. He got millions of Naira, after that one post.
He kept updating the receipts on his Instagram story, as random people kept sending him money. Davido got so much money into his bank account that the bank itself reached out to him.
After he had gotten the money, Davido pledged to use the money to feed orphaned children all across Nigeria.
His promise didn’t come to fruition until this year, and before that, popular Twitter user Daniel Regha had been hounding him about it, asking that he should fulfill his promise.
Daniel Regha made several posts over the past years to remind Davido of his promise, and although he didn’t get a personal response, he dream came to pass.
A few months back, Davido’s non-governmental organization released a statement about the money, stating difficulty in navigating the location of all the orphanage homes in Nigeria. They also released the list of orphanage homes they had sent money to, alongside their addresses.
While it may seem a bit shocking that Davido got such an amount of money on his birthday, it is best to recall that he has one of the biggest fam bases in Nigeria.
