Davido loses $50k bet as Super Eagles crash out of AFCON

Afrobeats superstar Davido lost a $50,000 bet on Nigeria beating Morocco in Wednesday's AFCON semifinal. The Super Eagles fell 4-2 on penalties after a goalless draw in regulation time. Davido had posted his bet slip on social media hours before kickoff, staking $50,000 on a Nigeria victory. Meanwhile, popular TikToker Peller lost $3,000 on the same outcome and expressed frustration during a livestream. 'Thank you Super Eagles for playing very well,' Peller said sarcastically. 'I have lost my $3,000 bet. Maybe if I stop watching your games, you will start playing well again.' The Atlas Lions advanced to the final after the match at Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca ended in a stalemate through 90 minutes. Both goals came from the penalty shootout, where Morocco converted all four spot-kicks while Nigeria missed two. The loss ends Nigeria's quest for a fourth AFCON title. Morocco will face either Senegal or Egypt in the final.
