Why Davido’s U.S performance was cancelled – Organisers



Popular Nigerian singer, Davido’s planned performance at the United States of America on Saturday has been postponed indefinitely.
Organizers of the Dreamville Festival, in which Davido was expected to perform in Raleign, North Carolina, U.S., postponed the show indefinitely due to “Hurricane Florence”.
This is following a warning by the U.S. National Hurricane Centre to residents of a triple threat of Hurricane Florence in Carolina described as `a life-threatening storm surge’.
The Hurricane is expected to hit Carolina on Thursday, and over 1.5 Million people have been evacuated since the announcement of its advancement.
The indefinite postponement of the Festival was announced by the organisers on their Instagram handle @Dreamville.
They added that monies would be refunded to those that bought tickets.
“Due to safety concerns regarding dangerous weather, we are extremely saddened to announce today that the inaugural Dreamville Festival 2018 with Davido been cancelled.
“Our team has been working tirelessly with officials from the City of Raleigh, along with our state and Federal partners, among others, to monitor the potential negative impact of Hurricane Florence.
“With the current weather-related information at hand, we have together decided to cancel this year’s event for the ultimate safety of both local citizens and Festival attendees.
“Rest assured we are doing everything our power to make this event happen at a later time and we hope to share details regarding a possible new event date as soon as we possibly can,” the organisers said.
The festival which is the inaugural edition was slated to hold on Saturday at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh North Carolina. The one-day festival offers attendees a special celebration of music, culture, food and art, along with performance from J.cole himself.
Meanwhile, Davido was expected to perform alongside Big Sean, Young Thug, Teyena Taylor, Bas, Nelly and SZA, as well as the Festival creator J Cole, his manager Ibrahim Hamad and a host of artists.

Transfer update

Transfer: Chelsea tell Real Madrid price-tag for Marcos Alonso Chelsea have reportedly told Real Madrid the price-tag for their first-team defender, Marcos Alonso. According to Tuttosport, The Los Blacos have been told that the Spanish left-back won’t cost less than €60 million. The Italian newspaper claimed that Madrid are currently not ready to pay the fee for the 27-year-old and the Blues are not open to sell Alonso now. The report also claimed that the West London club doesn’t want Alonso to leave Stamford Bridge because the transfer window in Premier League has closed already and Chelsea don’t have any chance to sign a replacement if the defender joins the Santiago Bernabeu club. However, things could change next summer when Juventus could make a new attempt to sign Marcelo from Real Madrid. Tuttosport claimed that if Juventus signs Marcelo for a fee close to €50million, then Madrid would accept to pay €60million to sign Alonso from Chelsea.

England manager, Gareth Southgate has said they are doing everything possible to stop Ademola Lookman from switching allegiances to play for Nigeria. The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) are confident they can tempt the Everton winger, even though he is a regular for the Three Lions’ Under-21 side. London-born Lookman is eligible to play for the Super Eagles through his parents. But Southgate remains confident they can keep the 20-year-old, who had an impressive spell on loan at Germany’s RB Leipzig last season. “I know every country is quite aggressive in their recruiting and I know they have always had an interest in him, but he is playing and has been in our squads, the 20s, 21s. “So in terms of encouragement through game time, we are doing as much as we possibly can,” Southgate told the UK Mirror
