Davido replies Ex-NFF president, Pinnick over failure to perform in Warri despite $94,600 payment
Afrobeats superstar, Davido, has reacted to an allegation of unprofessionalism levelled against him by former president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick.
Pinnick had accused Davido of refusing to show up at the 19th edition of the Warri Again event despite being paid an excess of $94,600 (about 72 million naira).
Pinnick said: “We paid Davido $94,600 on the 6th of April. We paid $18,000 for his plane. If he say he be big boy, we go tell am say we Big pass am.”
“I’m not joking. So, why he was playing his games back and forth, we decided to hunt to find another artist, Shallipopi.”
“You see when people say dem big, I just dey laugh. The biggest artiste in Nigeria today, no be Burna Boy? Burna Boy is half Itsekiri. Burna Boy’s paternal grandmother is Itsekiri. So, he big pass am.
“Anybody fit big pass RMD for acting industry? Anybody fit big pass Ali Baba for comedy? Warri na back to back we get dem. Nobody fit big pass Warri.”
In a swift reaction on X (Twitter) on Saturday, Davido said: “NOBODY CAN STOP ME FROM PERFORMING-ANYWHERE IN NIGERIA … WARRI I WILL SEE YOU SOON . ❤️”
