Nigerian Superstar Davido Unfazed by Threat to Cancel Lagos Show over Controversial Interview
Davido, the Grammy-nominated singer, has shrugged off the threat to cancel his upcoming show in Lagos, citing his recent controversial interview. The artist has faced criticism from some Nigerians for his claims about the country’s economy.
In a post on his official X handle, Davido revealed that his show, scheduled for December 24, is under threat due to his interview. However, he’s unapologetic about his remarks and believes he doesn’t need to perform in Nigeria.
Davido shared: “LAGOS DEC 24TH! They say they’re going to cancel my show because of my interview… Ha! I don’t have to perform in Nigeria at all.”
Despite the controversy surrounding his interview, Davido remains confident in the intellectual and creative prowess of Africans. On a recent appearance on Afric TV, he touted the exceptional abilities of Nigerian doctors and individuals in the music industry.
The singer acknowledged, “The best doctors in America are Nigerians. You can verify that. Even in my record label [Sony Music], Africans bring the best ideas. This demonstrates that our imagination is unparalleled.”
It seems that Davido is unwavering in his views, even in the face of threats to his upcoming show. Only time will tell if he’ll ultimately go ahead with the performance or reconsider, but one thing is certain – his unapologetic tone is sure to spark more debates about the African diaspora and the state of the nation.
