Afrobeats sensation Davido suffered a major loss after Nigeria’s heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Morocco in the AFCON semi-final, ending 4-2 after a tense goalless stalemate.

The chart-topping artist had publicly displayed his massive $50,000 stake backing the Super Eagles hours before the crucial match through a social media post.

Despite high hopes, the gamble backfired when Nigeria failed to secure victory in regular or extra time, leading to a dramatic penalty decider.

In related news, Nigerian social media personality Peller expressed frustration after losing $3,000 on a 90-minute win prediction for the Super Eagles.

“Fantastic performance, Super Eagles,” he remarked with biting irony during a live broadcast. “There goes my $3,000. You were outstanding before I staked my money and tuned in.

“Perhaps my viewership brings bad luck – maybe you’ll win again if I stop watching,” the dejected TikTok star added moments after the final whistle.
