Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer, Davido, has announced that he will no longer be performing at the upcoming concert scheduled for July 3rd at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The singer made this known in a statement shared on Instagram, explaining that persistent production issues with the event organisers, The Necto Future Group, led to the cancellation of his appearance.
He wrote, “Over the past few weeks, I have extended my full support and professionalism to The Necto Future Group, promoters of @iconicpresents, with the sincere intention of delivering a performance that meets the high standards my fans deserve.”
Davido highlighted that, “Despite strong fan support and impressive ticket sales, there have been major misalignments regarding the event’s execution, particularly concerning key elements required to uphold the integrity and quality of my performance.”
He added, “Unfortunately, these issues remain unresolved. As a result, I regret to inform you that I will no longer be performing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 3rd. Please note, the show still holds, but without Davido.”
The Timeless star went on to appreciate fans who had bought tickets, assuring them that the rest of his summer tour dates remain unchanged.
“My team and I have worked tirelessly in preparation, and I am incredibly grateful to the thousands of fans who purchased tickets in anticipation. This decision is not a reflection of turnout or support; it is a matter of principle and respect for my craft, my fans, and the culture I represent.”
“London, I’ll see you guys soon, I promise! Rest of the shows this summer are still happening. 5ive is still alive! See you guys in Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Canada and the US! Africa must be respected.”
Although he won’t be taking the stage, the event itself—part of 50 Cent’s ongoing Legacy Tour—is still expected to go on as planned.
