Maybe more or less, but not up to 48 hours, just after Afrobeat singer, Burna Boy, made headlines with his jaw-dropping McLaren Senna, Davido has subtly fired back in a true “001” fashion by pulling the ultimate flex with a 2026 Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Edition, barely a month after shaking the internet with his Tesla Cybertruck.
This convertible isn’t the regular Benz; it’s pure luxury on wheels. With only a few made worldwide, Davido is now one of the first Nigerians to own this rare machine, and let’s just say, he didn’t come to play.
The SL 680 is a perfect mix of class and speed. It carries the iconic Maybach double-M logo, a handcrafted interior that looks like a private jet, and a powerful 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 585 horsepower. That’s enough to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds — smooth and fast like one of his hit singles.
Before now, Davido had hinted at the buy when he reacted to a video review of the car online with, “Awwww Mehn.” Well, it wasn’t just talk — OBO don land am.
With this move, it’s clear that Davido isn’t just topping music charts; he’s also running the car game. From the Cybertruck to the Maybach SL 680, the man is on a whole new level.
