Nigerian superstar Davido is considering giving away the whopping over N184 million cash he was gifted by fans and friends.

The “Aye” crooner took to his Twitter page to reveal he “might give it all away”.

On November 17, Peoples Gazette had reported that the artist took to Twitter to publicize his account details, jokingly demanding his friends and associates give him money.

Precisely he asked for a million naira each from them as birthday donations.

The likes of Femi Otedola, Don Jazzy, Tuface, Tiwa Savage and several other celebrities yielded to his demand.

The fund challenge kicked in quickly, and in less than a few hours the 30BG gang leader had generated over N26 million.

In less than 24 hours, Davido made over N184 million as cash gift from friends and fans.
