The Grammy-nominated singer told those at the table that after spending only 20 minutes on TikTok Live, he checked his account and found he had earned $1,700, clearly taken aback by the figure.
Carter Efe raises the stakes
Comedian Carter Efe, who was among those present at the gathering, quickly pointed out that the number could be far bigger with a little more planning.
He suggested that if Davido publicly announced a live session at a set time, say 8 pm, the earnings could potentially reach $30,000.
The exchange highlighted just how much financial opportunity the platform holds for artists with Davido's level of following.
As one of Nigeria's most globally recognised musicians, Davido's ability to pull that kind of income in under half an hour speaks to the sheer scale of his fanbase and their willingness to engage directly through digital platforms.

Davido speaks on bond with his PA, Lati
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Davido opened up about the deep bond he shares with his longtime personal assistant, Lateef Abiola, popularly known as Lati.
The Afrobeats star revealed that Lati, once a staff member under his late mother, Veronica Adeleke, became a pivotal figure in his journey, sneaking him out at night to recording studios when his father was asleep.
Those secret studio trips laid the foundation for Davido’s career, with Lati later becoming his trusted aide, A&R executive, and even serving as best man at his 2024 wedding to Chioma, a woman he introduced to Davido during their university days.
