Nigerian music sensation, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, showcased his star power as he successfully sold out his concert in Abuja last night, turning the tide after an initial call-out to Abuja residents for a perceived low turnout.
The drama unfolded when Davido, visibly disappointed, shared video evidence suggesting that the crowd at the venue was insufficient, not reaching a hundred attendees. He expressed his frustration, implying a lack of enthusiasm from Abuja residents.
However, the narrative took an unexpected turn when Davido later clarified the situation, dismissing earlier claims of a poor turnout as ‘cap’ or falsehood. The artist, in a subsequent statement, presented evidence showcasing a packed venue, countering the initial reports and vindicating himself from what he deemed a misrepresentation of the concert’s success.

The controversy sparked widespread discussions, with even the ‘Kukere’ crooner, Iyanya, weighing in on the matter. Iyanya criticized bloggers for hastily spreading news of Davido’s alleged failure to fill the venue, emphasizing the need for responsible reporting. He highlighted the false alarm nature of the claims and urged bloggers to correct their narrative.
