Davido mentioned how he called his dad for advice after he raked in over N200 million and he was told to give the money to charity.

The music star equally used the opportunity to debunk rumours that he pocketed the cash instead of fulfilling his promise to give it to orphanages in the country. According to him, it took a lot of verification and groundwork to ensure that the donation gets to the right quarters.
