Davido Pulls Out of London Show with 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige Over Creative Disagreements

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.
He wrote, “Over the past few weeks, I have extended my full support and professionalism to The Necto Future Group… 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.”
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.
He reassured fans that the rest of his summer tour dates remain intact, including shows in Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Canada, and the United States.
“London, I’ll see you guys soon, I promise!” he concluded. “5ive is still alive! Africa must be respected.”
