Nigerian music superstar Davido has set the internet ablaze with his latest extravagant acquisition - a brand new 2025 Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan valued at a staggering ₦1.08 billion. The purchase comes at a celebratory time for the artist, who recently received a Grammy Award nomination for 2026.
Celebrity barman and entrepreneur Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chiefpriest, couldn't contain his excitement over his best friend's new wheels. Taking to Instagram, the nightlife mogul shared a heartfelt post celebrating Davido's achievement and revealing the extraordinary method used to transport the luxury vehicle to Nigeria.
Grammy Nomination and Luxury Celebration
The timing of Davido's lavish purchase coincides with significant professional recognition. The artist, whose real name is David Adeleke, earned a nomination in the Best African Music Performance category for his collaboration "With You" featuring Omah Lay. This track appears on his critically acclaimed Timeless album.
Following the Grammy announcement, Davido shared a celebratory video showing himself and his crew enjoying the moment while showcasing his newest automotive acquisition. The video quickly went viral, with fans and celebrities alike joining in the celebration.
Cubana Chiefpriest's Instagram tribute highlighted the unique transportation method used for the Rolls-Royce. Rather than using conventional shipping methods, the celebrity barman revealed that Davido had the vehicle "flown in via Emirates Airlines" - a detail that particularly impressed his friend and followers.
Social Media Erupts in Celebration
The online community has been buzzing with reactions to both Davido's Grammy nomination and his luxury car purchase. Fans flooded social media platforms with congratulatory messages, praising the artist's hard work and success.
Among the notable reactions compiled from social media:
- Davido himself responded to Cubana Chiefpriest's post with affectionate banter

- Many commented on the strong friendship between Davido and Cubana Chiefpriest
- Several users humorously noted the unconventional transportation method for the vehicle
Blogger Tunde Ednut provided additional context, confirming the vehicle's exact value at ₦1,080,000,000. The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan represents one of the most luxurious and expensive SUV models available globally, making Davido's purchase particularly noteworthy in the Nigerian entertainment scene.
This development comes shortly after another significant moment in Davido's career - his meeting with the Alaafin of Oyo, where the traditional ruler notably requested the artist's phone number, demonstrating Davido's growing influence across different sectors of Nigerian society.
As the 2026 Grammy Awards approach on February 1, 2026, all eyes will be on Davido as he competes in a highly competitive category that includes other African music heavyweights like Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Wizkid, and Tyla.
