They want to cancel my show in Nigeria after my comment against the Country – Davido
Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has hinted that his highly anticipated December show in Nigeria could be canceled due to the controversy sparked by his recent comments about the country’s economy.
The singer made waves after appearing on the American podcast ‘Big Homies House’, where he advised Americans against moving to Africa, particularly Nigeria.
He described the country’s economy as being in “shambles,” a remark that quickly drew significant backlash from Nigerians both at home and abroad.
Prominent figures such as Joe Igbokwe and Reno Omokri were quick to criticize Davido, accusing him of damaging Nigeria’s global reputation.
In response to the backlash, Davido defended his comments, asserting that entertainers serve as the true ambassadors of the nation.
He took to his X account, stating, “Y’all mad ‘cause we the real ambassadors!”
However, the fallout didn’t end there.
In a new twist, Davido revealed that the controversy has escalated to threats of canceling his much-anticipated Lagos performance, leaving the future of his December show uncertain.
In a tweet on Tuesday, November 26, he wrote: “Dem say dem go cancel my show cus of my interview … loooool I don’t have to perform in Nigeria.”
