Multiple award winning musician Jennifer Hudson is billed to perform on the season finale of Nigerian Idol. According to an interview the show’s Nigerian franchisee, Optima Media Group, granted E-punch, Hudson has been approached and is ready to visit Nigeria for the first time. “We have concluded all arrangements to make her perform at the idol finals. In fact, organisers of the American Idol are the go-between. So, it is taken for granted that she will be in Nigeria in April,”. Nigeria's own Grammy award nominee Femi Kuti is also billed to rock the stage.
