AFCON: Davido, Peller lose $50,000, $3,000 bets on Super Eagles vs Morocco

Afrobeats superstar Davido reportedly lost a $50,000 bet after the Super Eagles were eliminated by Morocco in the AFCON 2025 semi-final on Wednesday, going down 4–2 on penalties.

Hours before kick-off, the singer shared his bet slip on social media, revealing he had backed Nigeria to defeat the Atlas Lions. The goalless draw in regulation time, followed by a penalty shoot-out loss, dashed his hopes.

Popular Nigerian TikToker Peller also revealed that he lost a $3,000 bet on Nigeria winning in 90 minutes.

“Thank you, Super Eagles, for playing very well,” he said sarcastically during a livestream on Wednesday night. “I have lost my $3,000 bet. You guys were playing well the previous games before I decided to place a bet and watch your match. Maybe if I stop watching your games, you will start playing well again.”
