Nigerian Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, known as Davido, announced on his Instagram Story that he had gifted fellow artist Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, known as Mayorkun, a Tesla Cybertruck. The post included a photo of the futuristic electric pickup and the caption “My gift to you. I love you @iammayorkun,” directing an associate to arrange delivery. Mayorkun reposted the story, replying “Love 4L, 001,” and the exchange generated wide discussion across social media.
The Tesla Cybertruck retails in the United States for $70,000‑$100,000, but import duties and shipping raise the estimated cost in Nigeria to roughly ₦200‑340 million. The gesture has been highlighted as a symbol of the strong personal and professional bond between the two artists and has sparked both admiration and debate online, including questions about the authenticity of the shared photograph.
