Nigerian music superstar Davido has turned heads once again this time not on the stage, but at the betting tables. Just days after teasing his fans on social media with a snapshot of his AFCON 2025 bet, the singer’s prediction came through as the Super Eagles defeated Tanzania 2‑1 in their Africa Cup of Nations Group C opener.

The victory not only gave Nigerian fans reasons to celebrate but also made Davido a huge winner. Reports confirm that the artist placed a $25,000 wager predicting that both teams would score, a bold move that many thought was risky. With Nigeria securing a 2‑1 win, the gamble paid off, reportedly earning him around $96,500 (≈ ₦140 million).

Fans and netizens have flooded social media with reactions, praising Davido’s football foresight and jokingly claiming, “E sabi everything!” The story has quickly gone viral, proving once more that the entertainer’s influence extends beyond music and into sports betting.

This follow-up comes shortly after Davido shared his betting slip on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), sparking curiosity and excitement among his followers. Many speculated whether he was serious or just having fun — and now it’s clear he was confident in the Super Eagles’ performance.

For football enthusiasts and entertainment lovers alike, this story highlights a unique intersection of celebrity lifestyle and sports. Davido’s win also reminds fans of the growing trend of celebrity involvement in AFCON betting, where stars are not just cheering from the sidelines but actively participating in the game.
