October 07, (THEWILL) – Former president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has called out singer, David Adeleke, aka Davido, for failing to perform at an event despite being paid $94,600.
The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Executive Member, speaking on Friday, during the 19th edition of Warri Again, claimed that the organisers also booked a private jet for $18,000 for the singer but that he never showed up.
He 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.
“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.
