nominated singer Davido has declared that his July 3rd show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would not go on.

He mentioned unsolved problems with the event's execution in an Instagram statement, namely with regard to important components required for a top-notch performance.

Davido emphasized that his dedication to maintaining the integrity of his craft and respect for his followers and culture remains unwavering, even in the face of robust fan support and ticket sales.

But the rest of his summer tour dates are still set, he noted.

The statement reads: “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.

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.

“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.

“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.”
