Davido Names $500,000 a Show for a Wizkid Tour That Does Not Exist Yet
On the IONWANNATALK show, Davido said he would ask $500,000 a show for a joint tour with Wizkid, and that a joint song might not ‘pop’. No tour has been announced.
Davido has put a number on a tour with Wizkid. There is no tour.
Daily Post reports that on the IONWANNATALK show he said a joint tour with Wizkid would sell out venues worldwide, and that he would ask $500,000 per show. He said a joint song might not ‘pop’, citing D’banj and 2Baba’s collaboration. He said the two have not recorded together in about 10 years because they were not in the same mental space, and that he no longer feels the way he once did. MyJoyOnline syndicated the report on 2 November. No tour has been announced.
The word in quotation marks in the radar is ‘pop’. HNA does not have a transcript beyond what Daily Post reported and MyJoyOnline syndicated, so this story does not rebuild his answers into a speech. The price, the sell-out line, the decade, and the ‘pop’ are the reported remarks. The headline on Daily Post’s own URL uses “every venue will sell out” and “I will demand $500,000”. Those are the outlet’s headline, and they match the radar’s summary. They are not printed here as a longer quote than the radar holds.
A price, not a booking
The radar’s analysis: it is a rare public price tag on a top-tier Afrobeats co-headline, and a signal that the rivalry is softening. It also says, plainly, that this is a hypothetical, not a booking. HNA is not estimating what a stadium run would earn. That figure is not in the sources. $500,000 is what he said he would ask. It is not a gross, a guarantee, or a fee Wizkid has agreed.
What would move it, in the radar’s developing list: a promoter, or either camp, confirming plans. Until then the story is an interview.
On the charts the same week, his ‘B4 B4’ with Mayorkun and FOLA is No. 3 on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart and inside the Nigeria top 10. That record is in the UK chart story and the workbook roundup. It is not evidence of a joint tour.
