Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has reportedly made a huge profit after correctly predicting the outcome of Nigeria’s opening match at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The DMW Records boss placed a bet on the Super Eagles’ Group C clash against Tanzania in Fes, Morocco, backing both teams to score in the encounter. His prediction paid off as Nigeria came from behind to secure a 2–1 victory over the Taifa Stars on Tuesday.
Despite dominating much of the game, the Super Eagles initially fell behind when Tanzania scored against the run of play. Nigeria responded strongly, drawing level before a late strike from Ademola Lookman sealed the comeback and all three points.
