 Afrobeats Star Puts Faith in Super Eagles with High-Stakes Wager Ahead of Tanzania Clash

Afrobeats superstar Davido has doubled down on his support for Nigeria’s national team, placing a massive $25,000 bet on their Africa Cup of Nations opener against Tanzania.

The singer took to social media to share a screenshot of his betting slip, revealing a wager that both teams would score in Tuesday’s Group C match. If his prediction proves correct, the gamble would return a payout of over $90,000.

Alongside the slip, Davido posted a brief, confident message backing the Super Eagles as they begin their AFCON 2025 campaign. The post quickly ignited excitement online, drawing reactions from fans, fellow celebrities, and sports enthusiasts who saw it as a major public boost for the team.

“Always with my guys! Let’s go, Super Eagles!” Davido wrote, translating his show of support into a viral moment on the eve of the match.

This is not the first time the chart-topping artist has made headlines for financially backing the national team. He has previously shared betting slips and messages of support during major tournaments, blending patriotism with high-stakes spectacle.

While celebrity gambling can draw mixed reactions, the response to Davido’s latest move has been largely positive, with many fans viewing it as a morale-boosting gesture ahead of a crucial fixture. The attention has added an extra layer of buzz to Nigeria’s opening game, making it one of the most talked-about moments of the group stage.

As the Super Eagles aim to start their tournament on a strong note, all eyes will be on the pitch—and on whether Davido’s bold bet pays off.
