Davido refused to perform in Warri after receiving $94,600, he’s not on Burna Boy’s level – Amaju Pinnick
  • Nigerian football figurehead Amaju Pinnick publicly addressed Davido at the recent ‘Warri Again’ concert, expressing his dismay at the artist’s absence despite being offered a substantial sum of money.
  • Pinnick even drew parallels between the DMW Boss and Burna Boy, asserting Burna Boy’s supremacy as the top Nigerian artist. He further disclosed that Shallipopi had stepped in as the headline act, replacing Davido.

The renowned Nigerian music sensation, David Adeleke, widely recognized as Davido, found himself in hot water as the former President of the NFF and a member of the FIFA Organising Committee, Amaju Pinnick, publicly criticized him for reneging on his agreement to perform at his event ‘Warri Again’, despite having received a substantial payment of $94,600.

In a circulating video, Pinnick openly expressed his dismay over the superstar’s absence at the event held on Friday, 6th of October.

The prominent personality, while on stage, dragged the musician, emphasizing that he had disbursed a whopping $94,600 for his performance at the event.

He also highlighted the arrangement of a chartered plane to transport Davido and his entourage to the state, underscoring that this payment had been made as early as April 6th, 2023.

Pinnick lamented that Davido had shown disrespect to the city of Warri by failing to perform after receiving such a substantial sum for his performance.

He further accused Davido of harboring an inflated ego, comparing him unfavorably to Burna Boy in terms of stature in the music industry.

Pinnick added by revealing that Buzzing Rapper Shallipopi ultimately replaced him as the headline act.
