Afrobeats star Davido has reacted after losing an estimated N495 million following Nigeria’s dramatic defeat to Morocco at the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Super Eagles were knocked out on penalties after a tense semi-final clash that ended goalless after extra time, with Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou emerging as the hero.
Before the match, Davido had publicly revealed that he placed a $50,000 bet on Nigeria to reach the final, with a potential payout of $348,000.
However, the loss dashed his hopes and ended the wager.
Shortly after the game, the singer shared a photo of himself enjoying a meal of grilled fish as he prepared to leave Morocco, sparking mixed reactions online.
While some fans criticised the size of the bet, others played down the loss, suggesting it was promotional.
The moment has since generated widespread debate across social media.
