Nigerian music superstar Davido has sparked conversation with a bitcoin request for his wedding well-wishers.
According to a now-viral video clip circulating on social media, Davido can be seen urging attendees at his recent wedding to Chioma Rowland to consider giving Bitcoin as a gift.
“I dey here, cash app na dollar. One Bitcoin na how much again?” the singer asks the crowd, referring to a popular digital payment platform. “[In English: I’m here, Cash App is for dollars. How much is one Bitcoin again?]
He also adds, “spray na Naira [In English: spraying money is Naira],” the Nigerian currency. He then continued “If you no fit spray Naira and I no want ‘OBO I go give you tomorrow’, I no want that one.” [In English: If you can’t spray Naira and I don’t want ‘OBO I go give you tomorrow,’ I don’t want that.]
Davido’s request has divided social media users. Some fans applaud his move towards digital currency, while others find it ostentatious or unnecessary.
Davido is known for his recent cryptocurrency related dumps. Surprisingly, on his wedding day, he manages to steer the conversation there as well.
“I’m accepting Bitcoin as a gift if you can’t spray naira and I no want OBO I go give you tomorrow, I no want that one.”
