Timaya
In April 2024, legendary Nigerian singer Timaya made history as the first African artist to purchase and ship a Tesla Cybertruck to Nigeria, a groundbreaking moment in the region’s automobile scene. The sleek 2024 Tesla Cybertruck, valued at ₦130 million, quickly became a prized addition to his collection. Timaya proudly shared pictures of himself alongside the futuristic vehicle on Instagram, captioning one of the posts with his signature phrase: “Great posture. CHULO.”
His bold move not only showcased his love for cutting-edge innovation but also reinforced his status as a trendsetter in the entertainment industry.
Davido
Afrobeats superstar Davido continues to expand his impressive car collection, adding not just one but two Tesla Cybertrucks to his fleet. In November 2024, he acquired a Matte Black 2024 Tesla Cybertruck, valued at approximately ₦254 million, sharing the news via his Instagram story with a video of the futuristic vehicle parked alongside his Rolls-Royce.
In a playful note, he humorously explained that he bought the electric truck simply out of “boredom,” showcasing his penchant for luxury and innovation.
Fast forward to May 2025, Davido made headlines again by purchasing another Tesla Cybertruck, this time in white, further solidifying his status as a top-tier car enthusiast.
The news of Davido’s latest purchase was shared on social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, with videos and posts highlighting the arrival of the new vehicle.

And after a couple of months, the singer was spotted in one of his Cybertrucks whilst the other was used for escort.
However, in May 2025, Omah Lay encountered a setback when he was involved in a road accident in Lagos, resulting in damage to both of his Tesla Cybertrucks.
