The popular singer noted that though he travels by private jet most of the time, he had to take three connecting flights to get to Italy due to logistic issues.

He further disclosed the efforts made to be at the event, adding that the promoter took his “craft and hard work for granted”.

Davido wrote: “We overwork our bodies, blood sweat and tears daily to keep up and deliver these shows for our fans, only for people to take our craft and hard work for granted.

“I fly private 90 percent of the time but due to logistic issues we couldn’t get a landing permit on time.
