Davido, Peller

Music star Davido has lost a $50,000 bet after Nigeria’s Super Eagles were defeated by Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations semifinal on Wednesday.

The team drew 0-0 after extra time, but Morocco won 4-2 in penalties.

Davido had shared his bet slip on social media before the match, showing he’d staked $50,000 on Nigeria to win.

Popular TikToker Peller also suffered a loss, betting $3,000 on Nigeria to win within 90 minutes.

Lamenting on his loss, he said, “Thank you Super Eagles for playing very well,” he said sarcastically. “I have lost my $3,000 bet. You guys were playing well in 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.” (The Nation, excluding headline)
