Nigerian superstar Davido is perhaps among the few people in his country that did not feel the recession last year and to prove it, he bought himself a 2017 Range Rover Sport as a Christmas gift. The Aye singer in his usual style showed off his “small” gift on YouTube last week that matched his black and white outfit (on the day). The star who usually has an entourage everywhere he goes posed on top of the brand new car while they took photos and videos.

In the video, Davido, who also goes by the moniker Omo Baba Olowo meaning “one whose father owns money”, says “zero recession” while counting money. Nigerian blogs have estimated that the car is worth N80 million.

It is also reported that the singer, who last year signed to entertainment giant Sony, buys two brand new cars every year for himself.
