Pop superstar Davido has put his money where his football passion is ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations AFCON 2025, staking 25,000 roughly N36 million on Nigeria's opening Group C match against Tanzania.
The singer shared a snapshot of his betting slip on his X page on Sunday, showing that he wagered on both teams to score, with an estimated payout of 96,564 about N140 million.
This is not the first time Davido has backed the Super Eagles with a big bet. Ahead of Nigeria's last competitive outing against Gabon in the 2026 FIFA World Cup play-offs, the Afrobeats superstar staked 10,000 ?15 million predicting a Nigerian win and both teams to score, with a potential payout of 50,194.58 ?75.2 million. Unfortunately, Nigeria lost that match, but Davido's enthusiasm for supporting the national team remains undimmed.
