Davido revealed that his father heard about the outcome and persuaded him to donate the money to the less privileged.
He said: "I do it every year, I've done it for like 3 years now. On My birthday two years ago I tweeted my account number randomly on twitter, like yoo it's My birthday, send me money. And then my fans ended up sending me up to like $400,000, it was a big story.
"So I'm thinking, like what should I do, then My Pops called me like, you know you can't keep that money right.
"Then we decided to just give it all away to a course, which was the motherless babies ,so we did that the first year, we did that the second year back to back."
Earlier this year in February, Davido announced a ₦300 million donation to orphanages nationwide.
During his birthday on November 21, the Timeless hitmaker once again announced a ₦300 million donation to support orphanages and a charity combating drug abuse among young people in Nigeria.
