Davido delays the celebration in honour of his son, Ifeanyi

In memory of his late son Ifeanyi Adeleke, popular Nigerian artist David Adeleke, nicknamed Davido, has postponed his forthcoming Are We African Yet (A.W.A.Y) festival.

The singer’s management apologized to fans for the disappointment and vowed to make it up in a message posted on the festival’s Twitter account.

The statement claims that Davido wants to spend more time with his family during this difficult period of bereavement.

The declaration reads: “We have decided to postpone A.W.A.Y Festival until November 18, 2023, a tough but necessary choice. All purchased tickets will be honoured for the 2023 event. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and hope to see you all soon.”

The singer reportedly made his first appearance on Instagram on Monday after deactivating his late son’s account and unfollowing DJ Cuppy and Femi Otedola out of grief.
