On October 6, the concert honoring performers from the Niger Delta region was organized.

The evening featured performances by a variety of performers, including AY Makun, Pheelz, Spyro, Fireboy DML, Destalker, and Pheelz.

It appears that Davido had already stated that he would attend the concert but was not among performers.
