Nigerian music superstar Davido has once again captured headlines with the purchase of a brand-new 2026 Mercedes-Maybach SL680, a luxury convertible sports car that reportedly cost him a staggering ₦1.2 billion (about $750,000),.
This acquisition comes just days after Burna Boy made waves with his own high-profile car purchase, fueling friendly rivalry and excitement among fans of Nigeria’s top music icons.
The Car: 2026 Mercedes-Maybach SL680
The Mercedes-Maybach SL680 is not just any car—it’s the first-ever Maybach convertible sports car, blending high performance with the ultimate in luxury.
Powered by a robust V8 engine delivering over 570 horsepower, this two-door convertible is wrapped in a custom two-tone paint job and boasts a plush interior finished with premium white leather and signature Maybach branding throughout.
The base price for this model is around $250,000, but with shipping, customs, clearing, and Nigeria’s hefty import taxes, the total cost skyrocketed to over ₦1.2 billion.
Remarkably, Davido managed to secure the vehicle before its official global release, underscoring his influence and connections in the luxury market.
Social Media Buzz and Celebrity Rivalry
The news of Davido’s latest acquisition broke just after Burna Boy unveiled his ₦3.2 billion McLaren Senna, sparking a wave of speculation about a friendly competition between the two stars for the most extravagant car collection in the country.
Fans and commentators have been quick to compare the two purchases, with many praising Davido for his taste in comfort and luxury, as opposed to Burna Boy’s focus on high-performance sports car.
Videos and posts have gone viral, with Davido’s best friend confirming the purchase and fans eagerly awaiting the car’s arrival in Nigeria.
Davido’s Growing Car Collection
With the addition of the Maybach SL680, Davido’s garage now includes other luxury vehicles such as the Rolls-Royce Spectre, Bentley Bentayga, and more, making his collection one of the most enviable among Nigerian celebrities.
The Maybach SL680 now stands as the most expensive car in his fleet, surpassing even his Rolls-Royce models in value.
