Iconic R&B artiste Mary J. Blige, hip-hop legendary artiste 50 Cent, and one of Africa’s biggest stars, Davido, are teaming up for one of the biggest shows in London.

The event is set to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday, 3 July 2025.

These three global icons will unite for an unforgettable night of hip-hop, Afrobeats, and R&B.

This show comes as a one-off performance and will see the hip-hop, Afrobeats, and R&B icons come together for the co-headline gig.

For Davido, this big stadium show will add to his recent appearance on stage with Chris Brown in South Africa.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium show also comes as Davido is scheduled to drop his latest album, ‘5ive,’ early next year, which marks the follow-up to his Timeless record, which arrived in 2023.

As for 50 Cent, the show will come off as he celebrates the 10th anniversary of his 2014 studio album Animal Ambition.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium isn’t going to be 50 Cent’s only overseas show, as he is also scheduled to head to Glasgow to headline the TRNSMT Festival.

For Mary J. Blige, this event will follow up with her North American headline tour scheduled between January and April.

This tour comes in support of the new LP Gratitude, which was recently released via her own label, Beautiful Life Productions, just last month.

Before the release of her Gratitude LP, the R&B legend also celebrated the 30th anniversary of her sophomore album, My Life, which spawned the singles Be Happy, I’m Goin Down, and Mary Jane on November 29.
