Nigerian musician, Davido Adeleke took to Twitter to ask his friends to donate one million naira each ahead of his 29th birthday.

Following this, the Nigerian artiste pasted his account details on his verified Twitter handle, Vanguard gathered.

“If you know I’ve given you a hit song, send me money… una know una selves ooo,” Davido said.

According to the artiste, he recieved N7 million in 10 minutes after the open request. He also mentioned that his aim is to reach a 100 million naira so he can clear his rolls royce from the port.

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.

Here are some of the reactions as captured by VANGUARD:

@dreylo: “If your babe sent Davido money marry her.”

@gbemiO-O: “Imagine seeing your debtor sending Davido money.”

@alhaji royz: “Ritual wey you use your lifetime do, Davido don make am in 20 minutes.”

@onemind: “Davido just proved you can make money without referring to other people.”

@jaynaija: “Nah wetin make Whitemoney go for 3 month Davido raise in one hour.”

@sheni coker: “No other artiste should pull this Davido’s stunt anytime soon sha. If not, shi shi them no go see.”

@rankin: “Deserves it all abeg. How many stories? How many people? How many times? Davido has been so generous with his time, influence, and money over the years. Knowing the public man, that money will still end up as dash (giveaway).”

Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels said she is no longer interested in marriage after her messy separation from her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.

The mother of two, however, said she is still much interested in having more children, vowing that she must have a daughter.

Speaking during a recent livestream with Tiktoker Jarvis, Daniels explained that she wants to her a daughter because she believes daughters care more for their parents during old age.

“I want to have six children and I have two already, two boys. It so crazy but for some reason I have checked my mind out from getting married. But I am going to have a girl and I must have a girl.

“Men will grow, get married and and focus more on building family. But for women she will always remember home,” she added.

Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, got married in 2019, sparking public outrage due to 40-year age gap between the actress, who was only 19 then, and the billionaire politician.

They share two children; all boys.

In late 2025, their marriage hit a highly public crisis following allegations by Nwoko that the actress was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and requiring rehabilitation.

Regina Daniels swiftly debunked the allegations and accused Nwoko of manipulation, psychological control, and abuse.

Shortly after, she walked away from the marriage and moved into her own house.

Ever since, she has maintained that she is now single.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
