Davido In Fresh Controversy For Not Showing Up For Our Event After Collecting $112K Payments

“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).

Davido is in a fresh controversy for not showing up for our event after collecting $112K payments.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick has called out singer Davido for allegedly refusing to show up at the 19th edition of the Warri Again fest despite getting paid $94,600.

 

This Nigeria news platform understands that the Sports administrator said the organisers also booked a private jet for $18,000 to bring the artist to perform at the event in Warri, Delta State.

He disclosed this while addressing attendees at the event, noting that the organisers had to invite another artiste, Shallipopi as the replacement.

 

“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.

 

Meanwhile, NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Davido seemingly responded to the allegations by former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick that he refused to show up at an event in Warri, Delta State, despite being paid an excess of $94,600 (about N72 million).

 

In what appears like a shade on the former boss of the Glass House; NFF headquarters, Davido wrote via his X handle, “Throwing stones but u dey live for glass house.”

 

In another post, Davido bragged that nobody could stop him from performing anywhere in Nigeria, assuring his fans in Warri that he would be in their city soon.

 

“Nobody can stop me from performing anywhere in Nigeria… Warri I will see you soon,” he wrote.

 

He also posted a picture of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, logo with the caption; “Make I no talk.”
