Nigerian social media has been set abuzz with an image of Afrobeats superstar Davido standing beside a sleek, white Tesla Cybertruck. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Davido has been linked to a Cybertruck, as earlier posts from March 2025 also highlighted a similar acquisition. The buzz around this post reveals not just Davido’s love for luxury but also the divided opinions of his fans, ranging from admiration to skepticism.

Davido is seen in a high-end showroom, exuding confidence as he poses next to the Tesla Cybertruck. He’s dressed in a light blue traditional outfit, complete with a matching cap, a necklace, and bracelets that blend cultural pride with modern swagger. The Cybertruck itself, a white six-seater electric vehicle, stands out with its angular design and futuristic appeal. The Cybertruck is known for its ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless-steel body and bulletproof glass, with prices in Nigeria ranging between ₦370,000,000 and ₦415,000,000. The showroom setting, with its marble floors, recessed lighting, and large screens displaying visuals, suggests this could be a private garage or a luxury dealership, adding to the opulence of the scene. This image isn’t just about a car—it’s a bold statement of status and trendsetting, a common theme among Nigerian celebrities as highlighted in the Carmart.ng article on why stars invest in exotic vehicles.
The reactions to this post on X paint a vivid picture of how Davido’s fans and detractors perceive his latest move. Some expressed genuine awe at his wealth, with @alaye_ng commenting that the display of money is impressive, reflecting the admiration many feel for Davido’s success. Others, like @ahiwe_ik, pointed out that this appears to be Davido’s second Cybertruck, noting how he made little noise about it compared to another artist who was more vocal about a similar purchase. This comment also referenced a March 2025 post by @popsynightmare2, which announced Davido’s first customized Cybertruck arriving in Nigeria, suggesting this might be a new addition to his collection.

This isn’t the first time Davido has made headlines with a Tesla Cybertruck. Back in March 2025, @popsynightmare2 shared images of a customized Cybertruck arriving in Nigeria for Davido, with one photo showing the vehicle’s wheel labeled “001 Beast,” confirming its bespoke nature. However, the narrative dates back even further to December 2024, when @benny7gg posted about Burna Boy mocking Davido for allegedly talking big about buying a Cybertruck without showing proof, calling it empty chatter. This history adds complexity to the current post, as some fans wonder whether this is truly a new purchase or a continuation of the earlier acquisition. The skepticism ties into broader conversations about authenticity in celebrity culture, where public displays of wealth are often scrutinized for their legitimacy.

Davido’s Cybertruck purchase fits into a larger trend among Nigerian celebrities, where exotic cars are more than just vehicles—they’re symbols of status and influence. A December 2024 article on Carmart.ng explains that celebrities often buy such cars to keep up with trends or build impressive collections, much like collecting art or jewelry. Davido’s acquisition also reflects his ongoing rivalry with peers like Burna Boy, pegging Davido’s at ₦8.5 billion.
