Nigerian superstar Davido has revealed potential threats to cancel his highly anticipated Lagos concert scheduled for December 24th. The singer made the claim in a post on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting the threats are linked to backlash over his recent comments about Nigeria’s economy during an interview in the United States.

In the interview, Davido described the Nigerian economy as being in a dire state and cautioned Nigerians living abroad against relocating to the country, citing harsh economic conditions. His remarks sparked outrage among some Nigerians, who criticized the singer for portraying the nation in a negative light.

Without disclosing who is behind the alleged threats, Davido shared his thoughts online, writing, “If they like, make them cancel the show. I don’t even have to perform in Nigeria.” The cryptic post further fueled speculation and conversation among his fans and critics alike.

The announcement has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian entertainment industry, as Davido’s December concerts are traditionally a major highlight of the festive season. Many fans took to social media to express concern, with some defending the artist’s right to speak out about the country’s challenges, while others accused him of being unpatriotic.

This incident adds to a series of controversies surrounding Nigerian celebrities and their engagement with the nation’s socio-economic issues. Observers note that such public discussions, while essential, often come with political and cultural consequences.

Neither Davido’s management nor the concert organizers have issued an official statement about the status of the event. Fans are now awaiting clarity, with the fate of the show hanging in the balance just weeks before its scheduled date.
