Na Wizkid networth: Reactions as Davido cashes out big from Naija vs TZ

• Nigerian music star Davido sparked reactions online after reportedly winning a large sum from a bet placed on Nigeria’s Super Eagles against Tanzania
• The Super Eagles secured a convincing victory, and shortly after the game, screenshots allegedly showing Davido’s winning bet began circulating on social media
• According to posts shared by fans, the award-winning singer confidently backed Nigeria to win the game

Nigerian music star David Adeleke, aka Davido, has returned to the spotlight, this time making a winning bet on the Super Eagles’ first match at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Ahead of Nigeria’s Group C match against Tanzania, Davido reportedly placed a $25,000 bet on a daring prediction that both teams would score.

Prior to the kickoff, the artist expressed confidence in the game, predicting goals from both teams rather than a one-sided outcome.

The match, held in Fès, Morocco, lived up to expectations. Nigeria scored first before Tanzania equalised in the second half.

The Super Eagles, on the other hand, recovered control when Ademola Lookman scored the winning goal, securing a 2-1 victory in Nigeria’s AFCON debut.

The outcome not only secured three critical points for Nigeria but also ensured Davido’s prediction came true.

With both sides scoring as expected, Davido reportedly received a payout of $96,564, converting his pre-match risk into a huge victory.

The result elicited extensive social media reactions, with supporters complimenting both the Super Eagles’ performance and Davido’s football abilities.

Nigeria will now attempt to gain momentum in their next Group C match as the AFCON tournament continues.

See the post below:

Legit.ng earlier reported that Davido shared his thoughts on who he believes will carry the global Afrobeats movement forward after the current generation of heavyweights.

The DMW boss made the revelation during a recent livestream with content creator Carter Efe, where he spoke candidly about music, legacy, and the future of the genre.

Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy are widely regarded as Afrobeats’ “Big 3,” having pushed Nigerian music to unprecedented global heights over the past decade.

But according to Davido, the next era is already taking shape.

While responding to a question from the host about the future of Afrobeats, the Grammy nominee confidently named three artists he believes will dominate the scene after the current leaders.

He stated:

“Asake, Omah Lay and Rema are the next GOATs of Afrobeats.”

All three artists have enjoyed massive success in recent years, breaking streaming records and selling out international venues.

Asake rose to prominence under Olamide’s YBNL label with his fusion of Fuji-inspired sounds and street anthems. Rema has become one of Afrobeats’ biggest global exports, while Omah Lay is known for his emotionally rich sound and loyal fanbase.

Davido’s comment quickly became a talking point online, with fans debating whether his picks were accurate or if other artists deserved mention.

Davido secures endorsement deal for Carter Efe

Legit.ng earlier reported that Davido went out of his way to secure an endorsement deal for Carter Efe.

During a livestream on Twitch, Davido placed a surprise call to Lanre Odutola, Martell’s Global Marketing Manager.

The call wasn’t just casual; the singer personally requested that Martell offer Carter Efe an endorsement deal. Carter Efe, known for his comedic skits and viral content, could hardly believe what was happening.
