Davido, the award-winning Nigerian singer, says he might give away the earnings from his Twitter fundraiser.
On Wednesday, the singer took to his handle to put out a flurry of tweets asking his followers and friends to send him money.
He said he was soliciting funds to facilitate the clearance of his Rolls Royce, an automobile brand, at the ports.
With a target of N100 million set for the fundraiser, Davido was able to amass up to N185 million — as of the time of this report.
In a post on Friday, Davido said he might give the monies away — although he didn’t state who the beneficiaries will be.
Might give it all away ..
