Legit.ng earlier reported that as the Super Eagles prepared to take flight in their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 campaign, Davido put his money where his mouth is.
The singer took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page to share a snapshot of his betting slip.
The singer's bet hinges on a "Both Teams to Score" (BTTS) outcome for the Nigeria vs. Tanzania clash.
If the Super Eagles find the net and the Taifa Stars also score, Davido stands to walk away with a mouth-watering $96,564 (roughly N140 million).
Earlier this year, he famously wagered $10,000 on Nigeria’s World Cup playoff against Gabon, a bet that saw him lose millions of Naira after a disappointing result.
The Super Eagles are set to face Tanzania at the Complex Sportif de Fes in Morocco, a match that marks the beginning of their journey to secure Nigeria’s fourth continental trophy.
