Nigerian singer Davido loses $50,000 after betting against Morocco

Davido had made his betting slip public on social media a few hours before the match. The document attested to a $50,000 bet on a Nigerian victory. The outcome of the match, which ended in a goalless draw at the end of regulation time, resulted in the loss of this sum as the bet was on the result before extra time.

Other Nigerian personalities also recorded losses in this match. TikToker Peller announced that he had lost $3,000 after betting on a victory within 90 minutes. In a live intervention, he expressed his dissatisfaction in a sarcastic manner, criticizing the team’s performance compared to the previous matches of the competition.

Morocco’s qualification for Sunday’s final deprives Nigeria of a chance to win another continental title. While the host country prepares for its final confrontation against Senegal, Nigeria is focusing on the third-place match. This small final will pit them against Egypt this Saturday.
