If there’s one thing Davido will always do, it’s remind everyone that he’s Omo Baba Olowo — and this time, he’s done it in serious style. Just days after Burna Boy made headlines with his ₦3.2 billion 2019 McLaren Senna Exposed Carbon, Davido has bounced back hard with the 2026 Mercedes-Benz SL 680 Monogram Series, making it clear that the car battle between Nigeria’s biggest stars is far from over.
To top it all off, this new Maybach beast is landing just weeks after Davido splashed over ₦300 million on a Tesla Cybertruck, which he unveiled as a birthday gift to himself on Instagram. “I was bored, so I changed my garage,” he joked. Classic Davido.
What Makes the 2026 SL 680 Monogram So Special?
This is not your regular convertible. Mercedes-Maybach took the already fast and flashy AMG SL63 and turned it into something fit for royalty. The SL 680 Monogram Series is a luxury grand touring convertible that’s loaded with elegance and raw power.
It features a powerful V8 biturbo engine, Maybach-exclusive body styling, and only two available color combos — Red Ambiance and White Ambiance, each paired with a black hood. The outside is decked with 21-inch Maybach-specific wheels, a new grille, shiny chrome trim, and a soft-top roof covered in Maybach logos. One look at it and you’d think it was designed by Louis Vuitton. It’s that classy.
Inside, you’ll find white leather seats, hand-stitched Maybach emblems, and a tech-filled cabin that feels more like a five-star hotel suite than a car. This is not just a ride — it’s a statement.
How Much Did It Cost?
While official figures haven’t been released, sources estimate that the SL 680 Monogram landed in Nigeria with a final price tag of about ₦1.2 billion, factoring in shipping, customs, and luxury tax. When you add that to the ₦300 million Tesla Cybertruck, Davido has dropped over ₦1.5 billion on cars in just one month.
And let’s not forget — this is the same garage that already holds a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Maybach S680 Virgil Abloh Edition, a Bentley Bentayga, and now, two of the most exclusive cars of 2025.
Final Word
With this latest move, Davido isn’t just making noise — he’s making history. Whether he’s in a Tesla from the future or a Maybach built like a designer handbag on wheels, one thing’s clear: Davido is driving in a league of his own.
We don’t know what he’s planning next, but for now, the message is clear — Omo Baba Olowo runs this car game.
