Afrobeats star Davido has hinted that his much-anticipated December show in Nigeria is being threatened to be canceled following his controversial remarks about the country’s economy.
The singer made headlines after appearing on the American podcast Big Homies House, where he advised Americans against relocating to Africa, particularly Nigeria.
Davido described the country’s economy as being in “shambles,” a statement that sparked a flurry of backlash from Nigerians at home and abroad.
Prominent figures like Joe Igbokwe and Reno Omokri publicly criticized the remarks, accusing the artist of tarnishing Nigeria’s image on a global platform.
Addressing the backlash, Davido defended his position by emphasizing the role of entertainers as the country’s “real ambassadors.” He took to his X handle, writing, “Yall mad cus we the real ambassadors!”
Amid the ongoing uproar, Davido revealed another layer of the fallout, alleging threats to cancel his Lagos performance over his interview.
“Dem say dem go cancel my show cus of my interview … loooool I don’t have to perform in Nigeria,” he tweeted.
