The multi-award-winning singer took to social media to confirm he would no longer be performing at the highly anticipated concert, emphasizing that “Africa must be respected.”
The announcement sent shockwaves through fans and industry watchers alike, especially as Davido was billed as one of the major international acts set to share the stage with the rap legend. However, the Nigerian artist made it clear that his decision was rooted in principle, not publicity.
While he didn’t go into full detail, insiders claim the decision came after what Davido perceived as organizational mishandling and lack of proper representation for African artists involved in the lineup. His bold stance has sparked discussions across social media, with fans applauding him for using his platform to demand fair treatment and dignity for African music professionals globally.
“Africa is not a second thought,” Davido reportedly stated. “We deserve proper respect and representation at every level.”
The phrase “Africa must be respected” quickly began trending, with fans rallying around Davido’s message and calling for greater recognition of Afrobeats’ global influence.
Despite his absence from the 50 Cent UK show, Davido’s star power remains undimmed. His decision to pull out has further cemented his reputation as not just a hitmaker, but a voice for African pride and artistic integrity.
