Popular Nigerian Afrobeats icon, Davido, officially known as David Adeleke, has withdrawn from the upcoming joint concert scheduled alongside American music legends 50 Cent and Mary J Blige at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The award-winning singer took to his Instagram Story on Saturday to reveal that he will no longer be performing at the event set for July 3, 2025, in London, England.
According to Davido, his decision stems from unresolved issues by the event organizers, Iconic Presents, who failed to meet key performance requirements necessary to maintain the expected standard and authenticity of his stage appearance.
In his statement, he subtly highlighted the recurring issue of creative bias, making it clear that African talent deserves equal recognition and respect on global platforms.
Despite stepping back from the event, the ‘Timeless’ crooner assured his UK supporters that they won’t be left behind. He disclosed plans to return to London during the summer as part of his 5Alive European Tour, promising a full show dedicated to his fans.
Davido further clarified that the concert would still take place, albeit without his presence.
It’s important to note that fellow Nigerian stars like Wizkid and Burna Boy have made history by selling out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium independently, highlighting the global rise and influence of African music.
