🎤 DRAMA AT DAVIDO’S STAGE: The Girl Who Was Supposed to Shine
Word on social media is that a young female artist—rumoured to be called “Ivana” (or going by that name online)—was originally scheduled to perform at one of Davido’s shows.
But the twist: an old tweet allegedly resurfaced, and that tweet apparently lost her the chance to perform.
Here’s the breakdown:
She reportedly made a public video before the show, addressing another fanbase (perhaps of Wizkid) and clarifying she wasn’t “jumping ship” or “crossing over” just to get on stage with Davido.
Then in the run-up to the concert her name is said to have leaked as a performer — but when the show happened she did not take the stage. “Old tweet blocked her shine,” was how social media put it.
To add more fuel: the tweets in question apparently raised questions about loyalty or alliances in the fan-bases, which in entertainment circuits in Nigeria can become a very sensitive matter indeed.
So what does this mean for the artist and for the show? Here are some quick take-aways (and some cautionary notes):
✅ What it could mean (for the artist & industry)
This incident underscores how social media-history matters: an off-hand tweet from perhaps months or years ago can still impact your career opportunities in music or live performance.
It highlights the importance of image management and understanding audience dynamics in Nigeria’s entertainment space — fans are passionate, alliances matter, and perception counts.
For Davido’s team (or any big artist’s production), this sort of move can show the importance of vetting performers, clearing social-media baggage, and protecting the brand of the show.
⚠️ What the artist might do moving forward
Issue a public statement or apology if the tweet was mis-interpreted, to clarify her stance.
Clean up her social media history (archive or delete old posts, but with judgement).
Use the incident as a learning moment — show professionalism in upcoming gigs, and rebuild trust with promoters.
Leverage the buzz (yes, even this kind of buzz) into a narrative: “I learnt, I grew, here’s what’s next”.
📣 For the audience & fans
Always remember: behind the headlines there’s often more nuance. We may not know the full story of what the tweet said, who saw it, why decisions were made.
Give artists some grace — even top stars make mistakes or were youthful before fame.
Stay engaged: if you’re a fan, follow the journey of this artist (if she continues pursuing her craft) and support her growth.
