Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, was captured in a light-hearted moment with Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, jokingly claiming victory for his side in a video that went viral on Friday.
The clip, shared on Instagram by OfficialPrinceNwauzor, was recorded on Thursday during a visit by Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke to Wike’s office.
In the video, Davido, dressed in brown traditional attire, stood and repeatedly told the minister, “I won. I beat you guys.”
Wike, seated in a white shirt, responded with a smile, “No, no.”
“I won! I beat you,” Davido insisted.
“You beat us?” Wike asked.
“I beat you,” Davido replied, as laughter and shouts of “I beg o” filled the background.
The exchange ended with Davido prostrating before Wike and embracing him, drawing cheers and applause from those present.
Governor Adeleke had earlier met President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa before proceeding to visit the FCT Minister.
