Nigerian music star Davido has shared a humorous yet heartfelt story about his deep love for football—and a frustrating moment he experienced at Manchester United’s Old Trafford, thanks in part to defender Harry Maguire.
Taking to social media, the Afrobeats sensation recounted how global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo had once invited him to watch a live match in Manchester during his second spell at United.
The evening was supposed to be special, with dinner and a party planned afterwards.
“Football ehn fit give person BP,” Davido wrote. “I remember when CR7 personally invite me come watch match for Old Trafford then couple years ago… He don book dinner ALL! Party chillin etc… Nah so dem go lose match… BABA VEX GO HOUSE… since that day I still never forgive Maguire.”
According to Davido, the loss completely changed the mood, prompting Ronaldo to cancel the evening’s plans and leave in frustration.
Although shared in a playful tone, the post reveals Davido’s emotional investment in football and offers fans a rare peek into his personal connection with Ronaldo.
It also adds to the ongoing online chatter surrounding Manchester United’s inconsistent form in recent years.
Even for a global superstar like Davido, it seems the heartbreak of football fandom knows no bounds.
