We paid Davido $94,600 but he never showed up — Ex-NFF boss Pinnick ‘drags’ singer

Former president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF),
Amaju Pinnick, has called out Afrobeats singer Davido for failing to perform at
an event despite being paid $94,600.

Speaking during the 19th edition of Warri Again, Amaju
claimed that the organisers also booked a private jet for $18,000 for the
‘Unavailable Crooner’ but he never showed up.

He then stated that the organisers had to replace him with
another act, Shallipopi.

His words: “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.” (sic)
