Davido
Nigerian music star, Davido, has announced he will no longer perform at American rapper 50 Cent’s upcoming concert in London, set for July 3, 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Davido made the announcement on Saturday, June 14, through a statement shared on Instagram Stories. He explained that his decision was based on principle and not because of ticket sales.
“Despite strong fan support and impressive ticket sales, there have been major misalignments regarding the event’s execution,” he said. “Unfortunately, these issues remain unresolved.”
Davido was expected to perform alongside R&B icon Mary J. Blige as part of 50 Cent’s Legacy Tour. However, he said certain key elements needed for his performance to meet his usual standards were not in place.
“My team and I have worked hard in preparation and showed full support to the event promoters. But things haven’t gone as planned,” he explained. “This is about respect for my craft, my fans, and the culture I represent.”
He thanked fans who had already bought tickets and assured them that his other summer shows are still happening.
“London, I’ll see you guys soon, I promise! Rest of the shows this summer are still on—Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Canada, and the US. Africa must be respected,” Davido said.
The London show will still take place, but without Davido on the lineup.
