Popular Afrobeat singer, Davido has been berated by the former president of the Nigeria Football Federation, (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, after failing to perform at an event despite being paid $94,600.
Pinnick who spoke during the 19th edition of Warri Again,on Friday 6th October said that the organisers also booked a private jet for $18,000 for the Davido but that he never showed up.
He further revealed that the organisers had to replace him with another act, 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.
