Nigerian music star Davido has announced his withdrawal from the upcoming London Stadium concert on July 3, where he was billed to perform alongside American icons 50 Cent and Mary J Blige.
In a statement, Davido attributed his decision to the failure of the event organizers, Iconic Presents, to address critical issues necessary to ensure the integrity and quality of his performance.
He further hinted at experiencing discrimination, stressing the need for African creatives to be treated with respect.
“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... Africa must be respected,” Davido stated.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions, while Davido reaffirmed his commitment to delivering quality performances that honor his heritage.
