I want Bitcoin as wedding gift, Davido tells guests

Music superstar Davido made a bold request to his guests at his highly-anticipated wedding ceremony at Eko Hotel, Lagos.

The renowned artist asked his guests to shower him with Bitcoin, the popular cryptocurrency, as a wedding gift.

This unconventional request sparked significant attention on social media, with many users discussing the innovative approach to wedding gifts.

During the ceremony, the master of ceremony, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, initially announced that gifts could be presented in other currencies such as pounds, euros or dollars.

However, Davido took the microphone and added a surprising twist, stating that he also accepts Bitcoin transfers.

He jokingly emphasised that he prefers immediate gifts, saying, “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.”

The wedding was a star-studded event that attracted dignitaries from various fields, including politics, entertainment, and traditional leadership.
