Amaju Melvin Pinnick, immediate past President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has accused singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, of failing to perform at a show even after collecting a whopping $94,600.
Pinnick spoke on Friday during the 19th edition of Warri Again.
According to him, the organizers had to make contingency arrangement for a replacement in the person of Shallipopi.
Pinnick also said that apart from the $94,600 fee, the organizers also booked a private jet for $18,000 for the ‘Unavailable Crooner’.
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? READ ALSO:
