In a list compiled by the artiste, a couple of his friends had sent him money at the time of this report. Friends like zlatan ibile, E-money, Adekunle gold, Patoranking, Obi Cubana even Ikorodu Bois transfered their widow’s mite to join the ‘money geng’.
Also, an old tweet from the artiste resurfaced online where he had said that, “wanna stay rich? Empower your circle… simple maths”.
However, various reactions have started trailing Davido’s one million saga, as some social media users criticised those donating money to a celebrity while others have seen it as a ‘IT IS GOOD TO BE GOOD TO OTHERS’ scheme.
One thing no one can take from Davido is, he always tries to reach out to people monetarily, hence, the reason this might be a ‘let me check the kind of people I have around me as friends’ situation, according to unpopular opinion.
The celebrity has received a total of N87 million cash gifts so far, and still counting.
