Afrobeats star Davido has announced that he will no longer perform at the highly anticipated concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, where he was scheduled to headline alongside music legends 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige.

The singer made the announcement via Instagram on Saturday, June 14, 2025, citing unresolved issues with the organizers over how his set was being planned and executed.

In a detailed statement, Davido explained that despite his commitment and professionalism throughout the planning process, there were persistent “misalignments” with The Necto Future Group, the promoters of the @iconicpresents event.

Davido clarified that the July 3rd concert will still go ahead, just without him on the bill. He emphasized that his withdrawal had nothing to do with ticket sales or lack of support, but rather a principled stand for artistic integrity.

“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,” he added.
