Nigerian music superstar Davido has announced his withdrawal from 50 Cent’s upcoming Legacy Tour concert in London, citing unresolved issues tied to professionalism and respect for his artistry.
The concert, which features American hip-hop legend 50 Cent and R\&B icon Mary J. Blige, is scheduled for July 3, 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the United Kingdom.
Davido made the announcement via a statement posted to his Instagram Stories on Saturday, June 14, clarifying that the decision had nothing to do with ticket sales.
He emphasized that he had worked hard to meet expectations and was disappointed that essential standards were not met.
“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,” he wrote.
“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.”
The ‘Unavailable’ singer officially confirmed he would no longer be performing at the July 3 event.
“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.”
Despite the cancellation, he assured fans that his other scheduled performances across the globe remain intact.
“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,” he concluded
