Though Davido did not specify the amount every one of them contributed to the birthday fund, it is being speculated that they all sent nothing less than one million naira each to the Nigerian music star.
The whole donation trend started on Wednesday, November 17, when Davido took to his Instagram and Twitter pages to announce that he aimed to raise N200 million from his fans and colleagues ahead of his 29th birthday which will come up on November 21, 2021.
In his tweet, the Nigerian musician urged his fans to send him money if they know that they have gotten a hit song from him. He followed up the tweet with another tweet containing his full name and an account number.

He reportedly intends to use part of the donation to clear his Rolls Royce from the port and to celebrate his birthday on Sunday.
Within 24 hours after he made the call on social media, the musician received over 100 million naira donations from his fans and colleagues.
At the time of publishing this report, Davido has received over N184 million barely after two days of asking for the donation.
