Davido: I spent nearly £400,000 producing my O2 Arena concert

Davido, the singer, says he spent nearly £400,000 on the production of his last O2 Arena show.

The record label boss delivered fiery performances at London’s 20,000-capacity O2 Arena on March 5.

On Friday night, Davido was featured on a Twitter Spaces hosted by Zeze Miller, a media personality.

He said he spent about £400,000 on his production because he was trying to further project Afrobeats.

Davido said Afrobeats has evolved to become a top genre globally, so there is a need to be extremely prepared.

“Afrobeats is evolving like it’s becoming almost a top genre. The more prepared you are, the more they look,” the singer stated.

“Ten years ago, I don’t think I would have agreed on spending 30 or 40k on my production for a show.

“But the production I did at the O2 this last time was almost £400,000 and that’s just because of how we are trying to portray Afrobeats.”

Last Friday, Davido released ‘Stand Strong’, the first single of his forthcoming fourth album.
