Nigerian music superstar Davido has once again set social media abuzz after revealing that he lost a whopping ₦495 million following Nigeria’s defeat to Morocco in a crucial semi-final match.

The award-winning singer, who is known for his love of football and high-stakes betting, had confidently placed the massive wager in support of Nigeria. Unfortunately, the match did not go in Nigeria’s favour, leaving fans stunned by the sheer size of the loss—and Davido clearly feeling the pain

Taking to social media shortly after the match, Davido shared a post that subtly reflected his heartbreak. Rather than rant or complain, the singer posted a photo of his “recovery meal,” a light-hearted but telling response that many fans interpreted as his way of coping with the loss.

The post quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions online. While some fans sympathised with the singer and praised his calm approach, others joked that the amount could change lives, build estates, or fund several startups in Nigeria.
