Adekunle Gold Mocks Joeboy’s N3 Million Champions League Betting Loss

Award-winning Afrobeats singer, Adekunle Gold has playfully mocked his fellow artist, Joeboy on social media after Joeboy suffered a significant loss from a UEFA Champions League bet.

Hours before the quarterfinal first-leg match between Arsenal and Real Madrid on Tuesday night, Joeboy confidently shared a screenshot of his betting slip on X (formerly Twitter). The “Beginning” crooner had placed a substantial N3 million wager on Real Madrid to secure a victory against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium.

His potential winnings were a staggering N10.3 million, and his caption accompanying the bet slip read, “Cashing out on Arsenal tears tonight!”

However, the match unfolded dramatically, with Arsenal delivering a commanding 3-0 victory over the Spanish giants. This result meant a painful loss for Joeboy and a cause for amusement for his friend and colleague, Adekunle Gold.

Following the match, Adekunle Gold reposted Joeboy’s initial tweet, adding his own lighthearted jab. “Lmao. You don go blow stream money,” Adekunle Gold wrote, followed by a playful piece of advice, “Next time face your club.” This humorous exchange quickly garnered attention from fans and followers of both artists, highlighting their friendly banter.

The unexpected outcome of the match has not only impacted Joeboy’s wallet but also provided a moment of entertainment within the Nigerian music scene. While Joeboy is yet to publicly respond to Adekunle Gold’s ribbing, fans anticipate a witty comeback from the “Baby” hitmaker.

Arsenal’s dominant 3-0 win puts them in a strong position as they head to the Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg next Wednesday. Before that crucial encounter, they are scheduled to face Brentford in the Premier League.

This incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football and the passionate engagement it generates, even extending to playful interactions between prominent figures in the entertainment industry.

Adekunle Gold and Joeboy’s exchange, though lighthearted, has undoubtedly added an extra layer of intrigue to the ongoing Champions League drama for their Nigerian fanbase.
