Davido Teases Drake Over £478,000 Loss on Ngannou vs. Joshua Bet”
Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Davido, couldn’t resist poking fun at Canadian rapper Drake after the latter suffered a substantial loss on a high-stakes bet. Drake, known for his lavish lifestyle and penchant for gambling, found himself on the losing end of a £478,000 wager placed on the Francis Ngannou vs. Anthony Joshua heavyweight boxing match. In a public display of his misfortune, Drake shared the betting slip on his Instagram, revealing the staggering amount at stake.
Despite the anticipation of a massive payday exceeding £1 million, Drake’s hopes were dashed when Joshua emerged victorious over Ngannou in just two rounds, delivering a decisive knockout that left the former UFC champion reeling. This defeat marked another setback in Drake’s recent string of unsuccessful bets, including losses on UFC matches and boxing bouts.
Seizing the opportunity to rib his fellow celebrity, Davido cheekily commented on Drake’s post, playfully teasing him with a Pidgin expression: “Ur ticket don cut.” The lighthearted jab added to the banter between the two stars, showcasing Davido’s playful sense of humor and camaraderie within the entertainment industry.
Prior to the match, Davido had pledged his support for Anthony Joshua, citing their shared Nigerian heritage as a factor in his allegiance. Despite acknowledging Ngannou’s formidable presence and compelling backstory, Davido remained loyal to Joshua, expressing his solidarity with “the Homeland.”
As celebrities engage in friendly rivalries and display their enthusiasm for sports events, Davido’s playful dig at Drake exemplifies the camaraderie and competitive spirit prevalent among public figures. While Drake may have lost a hefty sum on this occasion, his sporting ventures continue to captivate audiences and ignite conversations within the entertainment world.
