Nigeria vs Morocco: Davido loses N75 million
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that singer Davido had lost N75 million after Nigeria suffered a defeat to Morocco in its AFCON semi-final match.
Earlier on January 14, Davido shared a screenshot of his bet slip on both X and Instagram showing that he staked $50,000, equivalent to about ₦75 million, on a parlay through the crypto betting platform, Stake. His bet required Nigeria to win within 90 minutes, both teams to score, and the game to produce more than 1.5 goals.
None of these conditions were met in the tense 0-0 draw, leaving the Afrobeats icon with a heavy financial loss. The parlay carried odds of 6.97, meaning that a successful outcome could have earned him over $348,000, roughly ₦522 million. Morocco’s victory pushed the host nation into the final against Senegal, while Nigeria’s campaign ended in disappointment. Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali gave fans hope by saving one penalty, but two Nigerian players missed their penalties.
