This Davido is an id.iot. you think they will respect you after you have disrespected your country before outsiders.

Which song does he even want to sing in a 50 cent concert 😀😂😀

Davido better respect himself. 50 is a master of trolling, and will be bad for his art if he does.

No one gives you free respect, you have to earn it. You not a Grammy winner or had a major hit in last 5 years, and you demanding respect.
Bro, davido isn't my fav artiste too but he has had back to back hits in the last 5 years so I'm not sure what you're on about 🤔

How did you want him to address the issue? Because he is not supporting your party and his uncle is not an Apc governor abi?
I just wondered what type of human being you are in real life, everything is politics to you.

You earn respect. If I was American, I wouldn’t respect Africa.

Hmmmmmmmn "Africa must be respected"... I think Davido is trying to be controversial rather than being inconsequential. And I see that as a manipulative strategy for him to still be part of the show.

stop the cap. Davido is on the decline. No major hit in 2 years. The people who bought his tickets in the past are already tired of same thing/perfomance. Wizkid cancelled nang shows in canada and Usa too. Only Burna boy and rema can pull crowds these days. Make davido go rest abeg
..then why did the 50 cent organizers of the music concert invite wizkid,burna boy, rema to their show

What is a MAJOR HIT?? How do you define that? Please enlighten us

50 cent is 49 years old

What is the age of people that actually pay money to go to concerts? 18-34 and how many of them even know who 50 cent is ?
In London I believe Davido is likely to pull more crowd than 50 cent.

I suspect Davido is pulling out because the American stars have been given greater prominence

50 cent and Mary J Blige had bigger commercial success than Davido but that was 25 years ago. Their time has past.
I believe they would have sold more tickets in London because of Davido given the large Nigerian population

Davido has done the right thing and I believe he even made a mistake to be on a show with those people . He has been filling venues in London and should do his own show without those hasbeens
You don’t know anything.
Some years ago I taught in some schools in Lekki and VI. Those rich kids that travel out of the country every holls, we have so many of them. They barely listen to Wizkid and Davido. They call it mumbo jumbo. Go and find out. Even Michelle, the daughter of a popular celeb I won’t mention, happened to attend some of my lessons at the time. She didn’t give a damn about Wizkid and Davido’s music. You’ll be surprised to hear these kids streaming Mariam Makiba, Yvone Chakachaka, Mc Hammer, New Edition, Jason Derullo…
The one that even got me, was a 15 years old’s music collection that included Elvis Presley. I asked him if he knew what he was listening to and he gave me the break down. These kids read and look up historical charts. They ask questions like full grown adults.
It’s just a matter of choice, psychology and exposure. 50 cent could be older, doesn’t mean Gen Zs wouldn’t be interested in his crafts. Don’t use the average Nigerian demographics to conclude on this. It’s silly to do so.
Michael Jackson is long dead, but Davido plus Wizkid combined can’t meet up to his average annual sales after he’s gone. That’s legacy for you. Meaningful music transcends time. Tupac was a gangster, but his punchlines are words on marble. We still come across them today. You can’t say the same for Davido. Wear a better thinking cap and take off that nonsense you’re putting on.
Quality music is trans generational.

when I first saw this news of Davido performing in 50 Cent tour in London I read in between the lines that Davido is being used to sale large numbers of tickets for the show to boom, 50 cent and MaryJ are big names and older than Davido but that was like 25yrs ago not now, they intend to use Davido to sell the tickets, he knew on time and pulled out of the show, to some of
You people in the comment section writing rubbish about what song Davido will perform don’t forget that Davido have like 4 songs in the US that has golden platinum also his recent album top UK Apple Music charts shey na your papa song dem dey stream nii before FC and bad mind go
Kee una one day 😂😂

How else do you expect him to have handled the issue "maturely"? Pulling out without giving a reason? What can be more mature than what he has done?
He pulled out and gave brief reasons for pulling out, isn't that mature enough? Is it that you want him to go dirty with them or what?
This is the same reason why Americans will never respect Nigerians. It happened with this same 50Cent and Eedris Abdulkareem 21years ago (2004) and now 50Cent is almost repeating the same thing.
Even the President of their country is about placing a ban on Nigerians from travelling to the US, but he can never place a ban on all their commodities flocking Nigeria on daily basis or the resources they take from here on daily basis.

May God bless you. You see, the way I would have loved to reply all these un-informed sik Davido trolls, Seun's bots won't allow me.
You just nailed it completely.

I wonder if these uncultured kids know that Davido is way better than their favourite Grammy award cluchers.
The African kids see Grammy as the ultimate validation of Music expertise not realising that the Grammy is full of politics and Man-know-man.

Many disrespect Davido because one Un-informed KID called him Frog Voice. Forgetting that making hits and being a superstar in music depends on how best you know how to use your type of voice. An example is 9ice.
Is 9ice voice better than Davido's?
But look at his hits of the old times.
What about Shaggy
Grace Jones
Bruce Springsteen
James Brown
These are American superstars with crocky voices like Davido

If it is by voice, Dare Art Alade, Bank West etc should still be in the Game.

Davido today is a Force to recon with in Global Music. Who ever feels bitter can go hug transformer.

Their Wizkid is out of the game teytey.
He has faded away since.

Davido is a KING in world music. Grammy or no Grammy.

Make una rest and let this guys live their lives without your hate speeches everywhere

Life is funny.

When everything is good, they enjoy alone.
When business goes sour, instead of focusing on the issues, they want to bring sentiment into it. If 50 cent were to be white, Davido would have cried "racism". But since he is not, Davido is latching unto Africa vs Black Americans to whip up unnecessary sentiment. Of course, obligate morons will swallow the bait.

You can’t be more matured than how he apologised to his dan and assured them of his respect. 3weeks advance notice is enough respect, imo.

Winning a Grammy is not a standard of measurement... There are many great artist that never won a Grammy i.e Bob Marley, 2pac, Lucky Dube, etc.. And there are also many unknowns who have won Grammy so rest your head little boy ..

Some of you deserve flogging for the way you reason.

He should not demand respect because he has not won an American award called Grammy.

Not a Nigerian award.

An American award.

And you say your problem is your leaders?

You are worse than your leaders in the way you think, you this generation.
