Davido, a Nigerian superstar, has donated over N250 million ($600,000) to charity.
This sum was raised after the Afrobeat artist jokingly asked his friends and colleagues in the industry to donate him money in honor of his birthday celebration.
On Thursday, November 18, the 'La La' singer rocked the internet when musicians from all across Africa donated him massive sums of money to celebrate him.
As a result of this, the award-winning musician amassed nearly N200 million in just two days, sharing screenshots of each transaction on social media.
However, he appears to have changed his mind about the reason behind the request.
Davido revealed his choice to donate the money to help orphans in Nigeria in a Twitter post.

He further revealed that he "would make a personal donation of N50,000,000, raising the total amount to N250,000,000."
He also thanked everyone who contributed to the move's success.
Outside of showbiz circles, the artist is known as David Adedeji Adeleke, and he turns 29 on November 21.
He went on to say, "My goal is to do this campaign every year to celebrate my birthday and give back to others in need."
