Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold couldn’t resist poking fun at his fellow artist Joeboy after he suffered a loss from a N3 million bet placed on Real Madrid to beat Arsenal in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash on Tuesday.
Prior to the match, Joeboy posted a screenshot of his bet, showing his confidence that Madrid would come out victorious at the Emirates Stadium. If his prediction had been right, the singer would have walked away with an impressive N10.3 million, but as fate would have it, Arsenal’s dominant 3-0 victory dashed his hopes.
Joeboy’s bet had sparked excitement on social media as he confidently declared, “Cashing out on Arsenal tears tonight!” with a clear sense of anticipation.
However, the game played out entirely differently, as the Gunners overwhelmed Real Madrid with two brilliant free kicks from Declan Rice and a third goal from Mikel Merino. By the time the final whistle blew, it was clear that Joeboy’s faith in Madrid had been misplaced, and the bet had turned into a major loss.
In the aftermath of the match, Adekunle Gold, known for his playful nature, seized the opportunity to mock his colleague. Reposting Joeboy’s original tweet, Adekunle Gold couldn’t hold back his amusement, writing: “Lmao. You don go blow stream money. Next time face your club.”
His cheeky response, filled with humor, quickly caught the attention of fans, who found the playful jab at Joeboy’s expense hilarious, especially considering the high stakes involved.
The back-and-forth between the two musicians added an entertaining layer to the Champions League drama, with fans joining in on the fun. As Arsenal moves on to the second leg of the tie with a comfortable lead, Joeboy might be reconsidering his betting strategy — and perhaps leaving football predictions to the experts next time.
Meanwhile, Adekunle Gold’s witty remark reminds us all that even in the world of high-stakes betting, humor and camaraderie still reign supreme.
