Former Nigerian Football Federation president, Amaju Pinnick has publicly called out award-winning Afrobeat singer, Davido for failing to honor his contract with them.
The NFF President, while speaking on stage at his event, ‘Warri Again’ expressed displeasure at how Davido failed to show up at his event which was held on Friday, 6th of October despite paying him an exorbitant amount of money
He claimed that he paid the singer $94,000 and booked a plane with $18000 for him to convey him and his team to the state, yet he didn’t turn up, which is a big blow to the city of Warri.
Venting out, he stated that upcoming rapper, Shallipopi had stepped in, replacing Davido as the headliner.
He also accused the singer of being egoistic as he compared him to his rival, Burna Boy, who he stated was far above him.
“We paid Davido $94,600 and booked a private jet for $18,000 to perform at an event in Warri, Delta State and he didn’t show up”

Last month, Davido left many talking after he revealed the amount he charges to perform in a show.
The DMW music executive, in an interview, revealed that he charges 600,000 dollars (550,000 million naira) for each show he’s invited to.
He further revealed that due to the exorbitant amount he charges for a show, he has limited the amount of shows he attends in a month to at least four, as only less people can pay for the services.
He rounded up the amount he earns in a month between $2million to $3million.
Recall that Davido made headlines when he had requested $ 5 million for an endorsement with Billpoint.
