American singer and songwriter John Legend was among the notable artists who participated in the Global Citizen’s Move Afrika tour in Lagos, Nigeria, on Tuesday, February 25.
The event, hosted by renowned media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, also featured performances from Simi and DJ Consequence.
However, the highlight of the night was John Legend’s surprise visit to Lagos, accompanied by his wife, model Chrissy Teigen. His electrifying headline performance captivated the sold-out crowd.
Legend performed several of his hit songs, including Ordinary People, PDA, Green Light, All of Me, and Refuge, and even shared the stage with Simi.
“It’s been too long, I’ve missed you all,” he expressed. “We’re grateful to Global Citizen and Move Afrika for bringing us back. Lagos, we belong together. I’m so happy we’re here tonight.”
Hugh Evans, Co-Founder & CEO of Global Citizen, emphasized that the 2025 Move Afrika tour marks a significant step toward creating a sustainable pan-continental music touring circuit that will benefit both international and local artists for years to come.
