Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has gifted his longtime logistics manager and close associate Israel DMW (Isreal Afeare) a brand-new 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado SUV.
Israel announced the gift on social media on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, sharing video footage filmed at what appeared to be a car dealership showroom. In the clips, he is seen inspecting the black luxury SUV, opening the doors, checking the interior, and expressing visible excitement while seated inside the vehicle.
In emotional comments accompanying the posts, Israel repeatedly thanked his boss. “My oga, thank you sir. Thank you my boss. Brand new Prado jeep 2026. Since I follow you, I no regret,” he said. He emphasized that the vehicle was factory-fresh rather than a used import: “Na tear rubber oo, no be Tokunbo. My life don better.” He also advised followers to “follow who know road, to see road” and indicated he planned to visit church in gratitude.
The exact purchase price has not been confirmed by Davido or Israel. Multiple reports, including those citing celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut, have placed the value of the 2026 Prado at approximately ₦120 million, though other estimates circulating online have varied. Prado prices in Nigeria depend heavily on trim level and specifications and can reach into the hundreds of millions of naira.
This is not the first vehicle Davido has given Israel. In January 2022, the singer gifted him a Toyota Venza, which Israel publicly celebrated at the time as evidence that “loyalty pays.” Israel has been a fixture in Davido’s 30BG circle for years, frequently accompanying him on local and international trips, concerts, and public appearances. Davido has previously described him as one of his best friends.
The latest gesture quickly trended across Nigerian social media and entertainment platforms. Fans and observers highlighted the long-standing working relationship between the pair, while some commentary revisited past personal matters involving Israel’s former wife and advice she was reported to have given him about his association with Davido. Separate voices, including financial commentator GehGeh, publicly questioned the practical implications of receiving such an expensive asset.
Davido has not issued a public statement on the gift as of the latest reports. The videos and related posts continued to circulate widely, with many users framing the moment as another example of the singer’s well-known generosity toward members of his inner circle.
Israel DMW remains a prominent and outspoken presence around Davido, and the new Prado marks another high-profile chapter in their years-long association.
