Davido is dragged by Pinnick, who accuses him of declining to honor the concert despite receiving $94,600.
Davido, a singer, has come under fire from Amaju Pinnick, a former head of the Nigeria Football Federation, for declining to perform at an event despite being paid $94,600.
Speaking on Friday at the 19th edition of Warri Again, a FIFA Executive Member stated that the organizers had also arranged for the ‘Unavailable Crooner’ to go by private jet for $18,000, but that he had never shown there.
He claimed that in order to fill the spot, the organizers had to look elsewhere and choose Shallipopi.
“We paid Davido $94,600 on the 6th of April. We paid $18,000 for his plane.
“If he says he’s a big boy, we will tell him we are bigger than him.
“I’m not joking. So, while he was playing his games back and forth, we decided to hunt to find another artiste, Shallipopi.
“You see, when people say they are big, I’m amazed. Is Burna Boy not the biggest artiste in Nigeria today? Burna Boy is half Itsekiri. Burna Boy’s paternal grandmother is Itsekiri. So, he’s bigger than him (Davido).
“Is there anyone bigger than RMD in the acting industry? Or someone bigger than Ali Baba in the comedy industry?
“We have stars aplenty in Warri. Nobody is bigger than Warri,” he said.
