Nigerian afrobeat artist, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has claimed watching football can give one can give one high blood pressure.
Davido made the claim while reacting to the dramatic UEFA Champions League semi-final match between Italian Serie A side, Inter Milan, and La Liga’s giant, Barcelona, on Tuesday night.
NPO Reported that Inter Milan had edged past Barcelona as Davide Frattesi’s extra time winner sealed a final spot off the Nerazurri’s after a heated semi-final that saw both teams scored 13 goals on aggregate.
Reacting to the game in a post on his X handle, Davido had admitted to the tendency of football’s enthusiasm and suspense giving someone Blood Pressure.
He would then recount how he was personally invited to a match at Old Trafford by Manchester United’s legend, Cristiano Ronaldo, who the singer claimed to have arranged for dinner after the match.
Davido claimed the dinner was cancelled as Manchester United lost the game, thereby leaving Ronaldo angry.
“Football ehn fit give person BP … 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 😂😂” Davido wrote.
This had however left netizens raising eyebrow at the authenticity of the claim, considering the high profile of Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon D’Or winner.
“CR7 invite you personally?? God god punish that your lying mouth😭🤣😭🤣😭”@NuJahyne wrote.
While some accused the music artist of lying, others made mockery of the claims.
