Nigerian music star Davido has added another unexpected win to his name, this time off the football pitch.
The Afrobeats singer walked away with a massive $96,564 payout after placing a $25,000 bet on both Nigeria and Tanzania to score in their match at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Davido, who is well known for his love of football and frequent sports betting posts, reportedly staked the amount ahead of the fixture, predicting that both teams would find the back of the net. The bet paid off when the match ended with goals from both sides, securing him a return almost four times his original stake.
The win quickly sparked reactions online, with fans praising the singer’s confidence and joking about his “soft life” approach to betting. Others pointed out that Davido has often shared betting slips and winnings in the past, especially during major football tournaments.
Beyond the money, the moment also highlights Davido’s continued engagement with football culture. The singer is a vocal supporter of the Super Eagles and regularly shows up for major games, both online and in person.
