Davido was gifted a customised Manchester United jersey with the number 7 and his name on it by the club. This occurred during a visit to Old Trafford Stadium to watch a Champions League match [Pulse Sports]

For some reason, many social media users have found his story hard to believe.

Afrobeats superstar Davido has caused a stir on social media after sharing a story involving football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, an invitation to watch a match at Old Trafford, and a ruined evening that he still blames on Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.

On May 6, 2025, the singer narrated the alleged incident whereby the star footballer invited him to watch the said match. According to him, Ronaldo had made full plans for the day, including dinner, a party, and a chance to hang out, but the team’s loss that evening ruined everything.

The post immediately went viral, drawing thousands of reactions from fans who found the story both hilarious and fake. While some simply enjoyed the humor, many others questioned the authenticity of the story, accusing Davido of exaggeration and chasing clout. Many social media users did not believe that Ronaldo invited Davido out, and called him out for ‘lying.’
