Grammy-nominated singer Davido has apologised to fans after failing to appear at a scheduled performance in Lagos, blaming the development on difficulties in sourcing aviation fuel. The artiste, whose real name is David Adeleke, was billed to headline a performance alongside Zlatan Ibile at a popular club, Secret Place, in Ikate Elegushi on Sunday as part of its fifth anniversary celebration.

Also, Davido did not show up, prompting reactions from fans who had gathered for the event. In a post shared afterwards on his Instagram story on Monday, logistical challenges linked to fuel shortages disrupted his travel plans, forcing a reschedule. “The world happened to me yesterday. These wars around the world have really started penetrating. Finding fuel was a problem yesterday to even fly.

Everything had to be rescheduled,” he indicated. He apologised to fans who turned up for the show, assuring them that he would make it up to them. “To my fans that pulled up… sorry I missed it. We’re going to run it back again soon,”.

The development comes amid wider global concerns over fuel supply disruptions, particularly affecting the aviation sector, with rising costs and shortages impacting flight schedules in several regions. Davido also congratulated the organisers of the event, reiterating his support while promising a future appearance.
