Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, more commonly called Davido, has replied a former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick after that the football administrator accused him of refusing to perform at an event in Warri, Delta State, despite being paid $94,600.
SaharaReporters had reported that Pinnick accused the music megastar of failing to honour a contract after collecting the huge sum.
The FIFA Executive Member had spoken on Friday during the 19th edition of Warri Again, adding that the organisers also booked a private jet for $18,000 for the “Unavailable Crooner” but that he never showed up.
He had said the organisers had to shop for 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,” the NFF had said.
Replying, Davido in a subtle response posted on X on Saturday, 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.” “Throwing stones but u Dey live for glass house,” he added.
