Israel DMW, the long-serving logistics aide to Afrobeats star David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has a new ride to show off: a brand-new 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, which he says came from his boss.
Israel revealed the gift in a video posted to his Instagram page on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The clip, which Vanguard and Information Nigeria both described as appearing to have been filmed in a car dealership showroom, captured his excited reaction to the luxury SUV. Reports about the present spread across Nigerian entertainment sites the following day.
What Israel said in the video
According to Information Nigeria, an emotional Israel addressed Davido directly in the clip, saying: "Thank you my boss. Brand new Prado jeep, 2026. Thank you sir, na man you be."
He then summed up his years in the singer's camp in one line: "Since I follow you I no regret."
Israel also turned the moment into a lesson for his followers, suggesting that his story could inspire others. In his words: "Follow who know road, to see road." He added that the first place he would drive the new jeep to would be church.
How much did the Prado cost?
That is the question many people online are asking, and there is no official answer yet. Celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut was the first to put a figure of ₦120 million on the vehicle, Information Nigeria reported, while other outlets have quoted an even higher amount.
Pulse, as cited by Information Nigeria, noted that the exact sum Davido paid has not been confirmed. The singer himself has not said anything publicly about the gift, so the price tags circulating on social media remain unverified.
Not his first car from Davido
Israel is no stranger to Davido fans. He has been in the musician's inner circle for years and regularly pops up at the OBO crooner's events and across his social media pages, often in his role handling logistics.
This is also not the first time his boss has put him behind a new wheel. Davido previously gave Israel a Toyota Venza, and that car reportedly shows up in the new video, parked beside the shiny Prado.
Mixed reactions online
While many celebrated the gesture, not everyone was clapping. Commentator GehGeh, in a video shared on X, cautioned that a logistics manager's pay might not be enough to keep up with the fuel, insurance and maintenance demands of a vehicle in the Prado's class. He argued that the SUV could end up being more of a burden than an asset for its new owner.
For Israel, though, the message in his video was simple gratitude. Whether the jeep cost ₦120 million or more, the aide made it clear he believes sticking with Davido has paid off, and he plans to give thanks in church first.
