Nigerian music star, Davido, has revealed that he will no longer be performing at American rapper, 50 Cent’s upcoming concert in London.

The London concert scheduled to take place on July 3, 2025 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, will also feature legendary American musician, Mary J. Blige.

On Saturday, June 14, 2025, Davido, one of Africa’s most popular musicians, announced on Instagram that he will no longer be a performer at the show.

Davido made the announcement on Saturday, June 14, 2025, via a statement shared on his Instagram Stories.

Davido clarified that his withdrawal from the concert was not due to poor ticket sales but rather “a matter of principle and respect for my craft.”

He says “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.”

According to Davido, “Unfortunately, these issues remain unresolved.”

He added that “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.”

Davido says he and his team made every effort to ensure the performance met the standards his fans expect, saying “Over the past few weeks, I have extended my full support and professionalism to The Neto Future Group, promoters of @iconicpresents, with the sincere intention of delivering a performance that meets the high standards my fans deserve.”

The ‘Assurance’ hitmaker noted that “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.”
