International music artist, Davido, took his marketing directly to his fans early in the day. The Nigerian born artist decided to appeal to his fans for some dollars… and it worked! Davido shared his bank info and within minutes fans were sending him money. Davido has 21 million followers on Instagram and another 9.7 million on Twitter.

Davido’s 29th birthday is this coming November 21st, so many fans used it as an opportunity to send him an early birthday gift.

Here’s a look at how it all went down:

Davido shared a little while later in his Instagram stories that he created the account just for this stunt. At that point, since Davido shared his bank info the account had gone from 0 to 33 million Nigerian Naira, Nigeria’s currency.

At least checked, Davido was at well over 184 Million Nigerian Naira. That comes out to about $447,800. I’m not abreast on Nigerian tax law, but would assume he will have to pay some taxes on that.

Davido has announced that he will be releasing new music tonight, another chance for him to show appreciation to his fans.
