Award-winning Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has described himself as a devoted fan of Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, claiming that he communicates regularly with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
The singer made the revelation during a livestream with popular Nigerian content creator **Carter Efe>, where the duo discussed football, Ronaldo and the national team they support.
During the conversation, Davido explained that his admiration for Portugal extends beyond Ronaldo, noting that he has several friends within the country’s national football team.
According to the singer, he hopes to see Portugal achieve greater success in international competitions.
“Because I have a lot of friends in the Portuguese team. I want Portugal to win,” Davido said.
When Carter Efe suggested that his loyalty to Portugal was primarily because of Ronaldo, the singer readily embraced the claim.
“I love Ronaldo. I’m a CR7 fan,” he declared.
‘We Chat Often’
Davido went on to make an even more surprising revelation, claiming that he and Ronaldo communicate frequently.
Describing the Portuguese captain as a football icon, the singer suggested that their relationship extends beyond being ordinary admirers and celebrities.
To support his claim, Davido displayed what appeared to be a conversation between himself and Ronaldo on his mobile phone during the livestream.
However, the authenticity of the purported exchange has not been independently verified.
Carter Efe Left Speechless
The revelation left Carter Efe visibly astonished.
After viewing the apparent conversation on Davido’s phone, the content creator repeatedly exclaimed in excitement:
“God, I don mad! I don mad! I don mad! I don mad!”
Shortly after the livestream, clips of the exchange began circulating across social media, sparking widespread reactions from fans.
While many followers expressed excitement over Davido’s claim of having direct contact with one of football’s biggest icons, others questioned the authenticity of the alleged conversation, noting that it has not been independently confirmed.
