The video shows Israel, smiling as he inspects the brand-new black Prado in the showroom — opening the door, looking inside, and soaking in the moment.
For Israel, who has been with Davido for years through tours, shows, controversies and comebacks, the gift is more than a car. It is a public reward for loyalty.
This is at least the second major car from Davido to Israel, following a Toyota Venza in 2022, highlighting loyalty in their close working relationship.
Davido, known for his generosity to his 30BG crew, has repeatedly gifted cars, cash and houses to aides, dancers and producers — a style that has made “Omo Baba Olowo” not just a nickname, but a reputation.
Israel’s message — ‘follow who knows the road’ — has since become the most quoted line from the story, with fans on X using it to praise loyalty, patience and sticking with one boss through thick and thin.
Critics, as usual, have questioned the timing and the display of wealth amid economic hardship, but for Davido’s fans, the Prado is proof that loyalty still pays.
For Israel DMW, who once faced public mockery and personal struggles, the 2026 Prado is a full-circle moment — from Venza in 2022 to Prado in 2026, all from the same man.
