AFCON 2025: Davido Wins $96,564 After Successful Bet on Nigeria vs Tanzania
Nigerian music superstar Davido has reportedly won $96,564 after correctly predicting both teams to score in Nigeria’s opening match against Tanzania at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ahead of Sunday’s Group C encounter, the award-winning artist placed a $25,000 wager on Nigeria and Tanzania both finding the net. The prediction proved accurate as the Super Eagles secured a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Tanzania in Fes, Morocco, ensuring a successful outcome for the bet.
Nigeria took the lead in the first half before Tanzania responded after the break to level the score. Ademola Lookman’s decisive strike later in the match restored Nigeria’s advantage and ultimately sealed the win, a result that confirmed Davido’s prediction.
Following the final whistle, the correct call earned the music icon a reported payout of $96,564, turning his pre-match confidence into a significant win.
