It’s no news that a few Nigerian celebrities have taken on the new trend set by afrobeat singer, Davido, in the last few days.
Recall that Davido had posted his account details on social media requesting a donation of N1m from his fans, friends and business associates.
This has yielded close to N200 million according to the artiste’s IG story.
Some celebrities have decided to hop on the trend to either test their fans’ loyalty or use the opportunity to garner some money for themselves.
