Davido Reveals Why He Had To Lie To Eko Hotel About The Number Of People Attending His 30 Billion Concert<\/h3>\n

Afropop star, Davido said the turnout for his 30 Billion Concert was incredible such that the organizers had to mislead the venue owners about the expected number of people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The concert took place in December 2017 at the EKO Hotel & Suites, Lagos was packed beyond capacity where several Nigerian entertainers, including\u00a0Wizkid<\/strong>,\u00a0D\u2019banj<\/strong>, and\u00a02baba Idibia<\/strong>, performed at the concert.<\/p>\n

In an interview with HipTV, Davido said:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat day was a crazy day for me. I remember waking up and we were looking at ticket sales like how are we going to tell EKO Hotel all these people are coming.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had to lie to them about the number of people that bought tickets because the limit of EKO Hotel was like 6,000 and we had over 10,000 people there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The FIA crooner further revealed the concert was almost called off over the death of his friends.<\/p>\n

In October 2017, the 25-year-old singer was accused of being complicit in the deaths of his friends, Tagbo Umeike and DJ Olu.<\/p>\n

The incidents threatened to put a damper on his concert, but it proceeded as scheduled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a concert that we almost called off when I lost my friends,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe almost called off the concert because we didn\u2019t think we had the strength or even a good public perception of us at that time. So I was just like \u2018I think we should just call it off\u2019.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
