The artist revealed on his X platform that he staked $50,000 on Nigeria defeating the tournament hosts, with an additional prediction that both sides will find the net during the encounter.
Should his wager prove successful, Davido stands to collect approximately $348,274 — equivalent to over N500 million based on prevailing exchange rates.
The Grammy-nominated performer demonstrated his conviction in the national team, stating: “Nigeria to make the finals and I’ll double my stake on my slip.”
His public declaration has generated widespread attention among supporters and football enthusiasts as anticipation intensifies for the pivotal showdown in Rabat.
