Davido Flips the Script, Makes Israel DMW Pay for Gas and Pizza in Hilarious Video

Afrobeats superstar Davido had fans in stitches after posting videos of himself making his loyal logistics manager, Israel DMW, foot the bill during a recent outing. The playful role reversal, captured on September 10 and shared across Davido’s Instagram story, showed a different side of the usually ultra-generous music mogul.

The comedy kicked off at a gas station, where Davido and Israel sat inside the singer’s sleek Maybach. Instead of reaching for his own wallet as usual, Davido challenged his right-hand man with a simple declaration: “this time na your turn.” The clip shows a grinning Israel stepping out to settle the roughly $100 fuel bill at the pump. But Davido wasn’t done yet. The banter continued at a pizza spot, where the OBO demanded Israel handle the $28 tab. After a moment of hesitation and laughter, Israel complied, paying at the counter while cameras rolled.

The videos went viral almost immediately, with fans loving the humorous dynamic between the two. Given Davido’s well-documented reputation for showering friends and associates with gifts and cash, seeing Israel pick up the check—even jokingly—felt like a refreshing twist. The exchange highlighted the genuine friendship and comfortable rapport between the superstar and his longtime associate, proving that even in luxury Maybachs and at pizza counters, Davido knows how to keep things light.
