When he hit the Nigerian music scene in 2010, it
was with the force of dynamite. His rise to
stardom was meteoric and every song he
released was an instant hit.
At 19, he had become a household name, boasting of
a multimillion naira endorsement deal with telecoms
giant, MTN. But then, with success in the music
industry, came a world of scandals and controversies.
Not long ago, Davido embarked on a $30 billion tour
that took him to 30 cities across the globe. However,
the singer ran into troubled waters with his show
promoters when he failed to turn up for a sold out
show on September 1 in Colorado, USA.
Fans had indeed been angry and expressed their
disgust at the failure of Davido to show up for the
show. Obviously aware that there could be a
backlash, the singer went online on September 2 to
apologise to his fans.
In a snap chat message, he declared that he would
have been arrested for credit card fraud like fellow
musician, Dammy Krane, had he come for the show.
He stated that it was in a bid to avoid being “Dammy
Krane” that made him not to appear in Colorado.
“Damn they almost Dammy Kraned me smh! Can’t
make the show in Colorado tonight! We were at the
airport for five hours. I’m so sorry! It was out of our
hands and there was nothing we could do. I will do
all I can to make it up to you guys… God bless,” he
stated.
However, Davido’s apology did little to assuage
frayed nerves. In a swift reaction, the organiser, BME,
had carpeted the musician, stating that he
deliberately missed the show, while dubbing him a
liar.
According to BME, three flights had been booked for
Davido consecutively but he bluntly failed to honour
any of them, under the guise that he was doing a
photo shoot, while he was actually partying.
BME said: “We attempted to book a fourth flight for
Davido but Davido failed to accept the fourth flight
arrangement, stating that he wanted a direct flight
into Denver. We could not get him a direct flight to
Denver, as there were none; all that was available
was connecting flights.
Davido, who bluntly refused to make his flight three
times, then posted on his snapchat that he was not
going to make it to Colorado! We don’t owe Davido.
He breached his contract!”
Disappointed and fuming, Ayodele Akindele, a
staunch fan of Davido based in Colorado, had stated:
“It is obvious that Davido is not telling the truth.
That he was arrested is probably an excuse just
to get off the hook. We all came out and bought
tickets for his show only for him to abandon us;
it is so sad.”
Another fan of Davido, Balkissa Saidou, said:
“(Davido) stole my money, wasted my time and
didn’t even have the decency to be honest to the
guests. So disappointed.” And for Dan Asima,
Davido simply took his fans for granted. “It is sad
that Davido chose to go parting while his fans
here in Colorado were waiting for him. It is so
sad.”
Meanwhile, in order to assuage fans, BME had
organised another concert for October 16 featuring P-
Square. It was a free show. But lots of music fans
were not assuaged by BME’s option.
An angry Ashley Reynolds fumed:
“This means nothing to me! You guys still haven’t
resolved anything. And to sum it up, you guys try
and bring another artiste out here when the first
one never came.
You guys trying to butter people up with a free
concert. (This) isn’t going to make people forget
how you’ve wronged us. Nor will it bring our
money back to our wallets.”
