Nigerian singer, Davido, has lost a $50,000 (₦72 million) bet after the Super Eagles failed to defeat Morocco in the semi-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)

Before the match, the singer had posted a betting slip on his X page showing he wagered $50,000 on Nigeria to beat the host nation and for both sides to score.

In his post, the singer wrote: “Nigeria to make the finals and I’ll double my stake on my slip.”

The match played on Wednesday night, at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, ended in a goalless draw in regular time, before Morocco sealed a 4 -2 victory in a penalty shootout.

Had the prediction been correct, Davido would have won over $348,274, equivalent to more than ₦500 million at current rates.
