American singer and songwriter John Legend was among the prominent figures who graced the Global Citizen’s Move Afrika tour in Lagos, Nigeria on Tuesday, February 25.
The event hosted by popular media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu also featured performances from Simi and DJ Consequence.
However, John Legend’s unexpected visit to Lagos, Nigeria alongside his wife and model Chrissy Teigen was the highlight of the event as he gave the sold-out Lagos show an incredible headline performance.
John Legend performed some of his hits, including ‘Ordinary People’, ‘PDA’, ‘Green Light’, ‘All of Me’ and ‘Refuge’ and was also joined on stage by Simi.
“It’s been too long, I’ve missed you all,”
John Legend said;
We’re thankful to Global Citizen and Move Afrika for bringing us back here. We belong together, Lagos. I’m so happy we’re together tonight.”
According to Hugh Evans, Co-Founder & CEO of Global Citizen, the 2025 Move Afrika tour is a major step in the direction of establishing the pan-continental music touring circuit that both international and local artists will leverage for years to come.
