King's court He put Afropop and juju on the map – Nigerian legend King Sunny Ade tours the United States in high African style this time around. He's accepting money offerings, called "spraying," in keeping with the tone of this jaunt: a clutch of Nigerian-born doctors flew him in for a joint 40th-birthday soiree, and this tour is the result. So get ready to lose some cash in tribute to the King when he is joined by highlife artist Prince Obi Osadebe in a unique union of Yoruban and Ibo performers. 9 p.m., Fillmore, 1805 Geary, S.F. $27.50. (415) 421-TIXS, (415) 346-6000. (Chun)
