Following the announcement that Burna Boy, his longtime nemesis, will be replacing Nigerian Afrobeats singer Davido as one of the event’s headliners, the organizers of the 2025 Summerjam Festival have stirred up controversy.
The announcement, which was made on Wednesday, June 25 via the festival’s official Instagram page, has rekindled a fierce fan fight between Burna Boy’s Outsiders and Davido’s devoted 30BG fans. Part of the post said:
“But we are more than heartbroken to inform you that due to logistical reasons, Davido will not perform at Summerjam 2025… SOOO this is why we came up with a master plan to bring back The African Giant [Burna Boy].”
Davido’s followers felt their favorite was being indirectly insulted by the statement, which described Burna Boy’s return as a “master plan.”
Recall how Davido just canceled his performance at a show involving 50 Cent at London Stadium?
