Afrobeats star David Adeleke, known as Davido, has pulled out of his highly anticipated concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, originally scheduled for July 3, citing unresolved issues with the event’s planning and execution.

In a post shared on his Instagram story on Saturday, the singer said that despite strong ticket sales and overwhelming fan support, he could not proceed with the performance due to what he described as “major misalignments” with the organisers.

“Over the past few weeks, I have extended my full support and professionalism to The Necto Future Group, promoters of @iconicpresents, 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, particularly concerning key elements required to uphold the integrity and quality of my performance,” Davido said.

The singer noted that the decision to cancel was difficult but necessary.

“Unfortunately, these issues remain unresolved. As a result, I regret to inform you that I will no longer be performing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 3.

“Please note, the show still holds, but without Davido,” he added.

In his words,”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.”
