Award-winning Nigerian music sensation, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has sparked major buzz online.

He announced the cancellation of his Timeless concert scheduled for July 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

The singer made the shocking revelation via his Instagram story on Saturday, June 14, blaming the decision on “major misalignments” between his team and the show organisers, The Necto Future Group and Iconic Presents.

Davido wrote:

“Despite strong fan support and impressive ticket sales, there have been major misalignments regarding the event’s execution. Unfortunately, these issues remain unresolved.”

While some critics speculated poor ticket sales may have played a part, Davido shut down such claims, stressing that his decision was not about money or turnout, but about integrity and respect for his fans.

He added:

“My team and I have worked tirelessly in preparation, and I am incredibly grateful to the thousands of fans who purchased tickets in anticipation.This decision is a matter of principle and respect for my craft, my fans, and the culture I represent.”

The concert was initially set to make history, with Davido poised to become the first African artist to headline a solo show at the 62,850-capacity stadium.

In the same post, Davido confirmed that the Timeless World Tour will continue as planned in other countries.

“5ive is still alive! See you guys in Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Canada, and the US. Africa must be respected,” he added.
