When Davido and Tiwa Savage
picked up the 2014 MAMAs 'Artist of the Year' and 'Female Artist of the
Year' awards back in June in Durban, some thought they may not have
deserved it. But this is why they did!
The names of both superstars have been put up at the entrance of the prestigous O2 Academy Brixton in London ahead of a major concert this Sunday, Sept. 15.
O2 Academy Brixton
has long been hailed London’s flagship venue, a must-play for artists
and must-visit for music lovers. It has scooped the NME “Best Venue”
award on an incredible twelve occasions between 1994 and 2007, proving
its popularity with fans and the media alike and in 2009, received the
Music Week ‘Venue Of The Year’ Award. With a capacity of almost 5,000,
it is truly one of a kind on the circuit and combines the feeling of an
electrifying arena sized atmospher.
Davido
dropped the bomb on his Instagram Wednesday afternoon posting an image
of the legendary building carrying his and Tiwa's names with the
caption:
"Moments like this are worth more than money!! Live at the Brixton Academy this Sunday!!!!!"
This
marks the first time both stars will perform at O2 Brixton and perhaps
sends a strong message to the rest of the world that Nigerian artistes
are as big as their Hollywood counterparts.
Gone
are those days when African artistes couldn't get a spot to perform at
the O2 - which is one the biggest platforms to host any artistes in
Europe.
However, Davido and Tiwa now join the likes of PSquare, D'banj, Wizkid and the Mo'Hits crew to become the few Nigerian stars to hit any of the O2 venues in the past few years.
Davido simply just can't stop winning, now can he?
