“People Wanted To See Me Fail, I Was Sued 4 Days To My Concert” – Davido

Davido has taken to his Instagram page to speak on his recently held
concert in Lagos state, saying people wanted to see him fail.

The award-winning singer shared some details surrounding his recently held concert, Davido Live in Concert.

He
talked about the issues concerning the venue change and may have subtly
touched on the controversy with Kizz Daniel’s manager. See what he
wrote below;

We only had 12 days to sell tickets and put this
Show together! They tried to block me from all avenues !! Left, right
and center !! People wanted to see David Fail!

When I came in
this industry about 8 years ago at just 17 all I wanted was my video to
be played on TV even if it’s only once! From the first time, my first
video ‘Back When’ ever played on television till now I haven’t failed!

Don’t
get me wrong we’ve cut it close so many times but God always finds a
way to save me!. What haven’t they said about David ?? Ehn ?? 6 days
before the show they made us switch the venue from Oceanview Grounds to
Eko Atlantic

after plenty of preparation and flyers, billboards
TV and radio ads, everything! 4 days before this show I was sued by
someone (won’t say who) trying to stop my show just because I wouldn’t
work with them anymore and wanted to try and do the show by myself.
After spending millions!

They said the name ‘City of Davido’ is
their idea and because of that I shouldn’t do any show with my own name
on the 27th of December. I said Bleep a distraction. How much will it
cost to change the name on everything?! Do I have that? Yes! We MOVE!

I
changed the name from ‘City of Davido’ to ‘DAVIDO live in concert’.
Printed thousands of new tickets! Hundreds of new billboard banners !
LED boards ALL! They STILL went to court 2 days to showday to try and
stop the show!! But my God is bigger than them! We beat that poo!

My
joy is never to just see myself win but to see other people win. Put
people on, put smiles on the faces.. that’s my own joy! Every time I WIN
they act like they are blind ! If it’s the other way round Dem go open
their Okponu eye like fowl!

WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS which I
have always done !!! Thank you to all the artists and performers that
came through for me and everyone that helped me put this show together!

Thank you to my lawyer, my manager my ever supportive Father and God! In just days we sold the Bleep out ! Over sold sef !!
