Nigerian music superstar Davido has reportedly won $96,564 after placing a $25,000 bet on both Nigeria and Tanzania to score in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Group C clash.
The Super Eagles edged Tanzania 2-1 in a thrilling encounter in Fez, Morocco, with goals from Semi Ajayi and Ademola Lookman for Nigeria, while Charles M’Mombwa scored for Tanzania. Davido’s wager, which predicted both teams would find the back of the net, proved successful, earning him a substantial payout.

Fans of Davido have taken to social media to celebrate his win, joking about the singer “winning big while cheering on Nigeria”.

His victory is also being highlighted as a reflection of the growing intersection between celebrity culture and sports betting in Africa.
With Nigeria now gearing up for their next Group C AFCON fixture against Tunisia, Davido’s fans are eagerly watching to see if he continues his winning streak, combining football passion with lucrative bets.

The win adds to Davido’s growing profile not only as a music superstar but also as a prominent figure in sports and entertainment culture across the continent.
