DAVIDO in stale gossip

When he hit the Nigerian music scene in 2010, it had been with the force of dynamite. His rise to high status was meteoric and each song he released was an immediate hit. At 19, he had become a household name, boasting of a multimillion naira endorsement handle telecoms giant, MTN.

But then, successfully within the music business, came a world of scandals and controversies. shortly agone, Davido started a $30 billion tour that took him to thirty cities across the world. However, the singer bumped into troubled waters together with his show promoters once he didn't take place for a oversubscribed out show on September one in Colorado, USA.

Fans had so been angry and expressed their disgust at the failure of Davido to indicate up for the show. clearly aware that there can be a backlash, the singer went on-line on September two to apologise to his fans.

In a snap chat message, he declared that he would are inactive for credit card fraud like fellow musician, Dammy Krane, had he come for the show. He declared that it was in a bid to avoid being “Dammy Krane” that created him to not seem in Colorado.

“Damn they nearly Dammy Kraned me smh! Can’t create the show in Colorado tonight! we were at the aerodrome for 5 hours. I’m therefore sorry! it absolutely was out of our hands and there was nothing we may do. i'll do all I will to form it up to you guys… God bless,” he declared.

However, Davido’s apology did very little to assuage worn nerves. during a swift reaction, the organiser, BME, had carpeted the musician, stating that he deliberately lost the show, whereas soundtrack him a liar.

According to BME, 3 flights had been set-aside for Davido consecutively however he roundly didn't honour any of them, beneath the guise that he was doing a photograph shoot, whereas he was truly partying.

BME said: “We tried to book a fourth flight for Davido however Davido didn't settle for the fourth flight arrangement, stating that he wished an on the spot flight into capital of Colorado. we couldn't get him an on the spot flight to capital of Colorado, as there have been none; all that was obtainable was connecting flights. Davido, who roundly refused to form his flight thrice, then denote on his snapchat that he wasn't progressing to create it to Colorado! we don’t owe Davido. He broken his contract!”

Disappointed and fuming, Ayodele Akindele, a staunch fan of Davido based mostly in Colorado, had stated: “It is clear that Davido isn't telling the reality. That he was inactive is maybe an excuse simply to urge off the hook. we all came out and purchased tickets for his show just for him to abandon us; it's therefore unhappy.”

Another fan of Davido, Balkissa Saidou, said: “(Davido) scarf my cash, wasted my time and didn’t even have the decency to be honest to the guests. therefore disappointed.”

And for Dan Asima, Davido merely took his fans without any consideration. “It is unhappy that Davido selected to travel parting whereas his fans here in Colorado were awaiting him. it's therefore unhappy.”

Meanwhile, so as to assuage fans, BME had union another concert for October sixteen that includes P-Square. it was a free show. however voluminous music fans weren't assuaged by BME’s possibility. an angry Ashley Reynolds fumed: “This means that nothing to me! You guys still haven’t resolved something. And to total it up, you guys attempt to bring another performing artist out here once the primary one never came. You guys attempting to butter individuals up with a free concert. (This) isn’t progressing to create individuals forget however you’ve wronged us. Nor can it bring our a refund to our wallets.”

When Sunday Sun known as Davido’s manager, Asa Asika for his reaction, mum was the word. He neither picked his decision nor replied text messages sent him.
