The Dreamville Festival in which Davido was expected to perform has been postponed indefinitely due to Hurricane Florence.
The festival, organised by rapper J Cole, was billed to take place on Saturday in Raleigh, North Carolina, US.
Davido was expected to perform alongside J Cole, Big Sean, Young Thug, Teyena Taylor, Bas, Nelly and SZA.
But the US National Hurricane Centre has warned residents of a triple threat of Hurricane Florence, describing it as “a life-threatening storm surge”.
The Hurricane is expected to hit North Carolina on Thursday and over 1.5 million people have been evacuated since the announcement.
