Multi-award winning Afrobeat singer David Adeleke better known by his stage name Davido, has replied former Nigeria Football Federation NFF, president Amaju Pinnick who earlier called him out for a breach of contract npflupdates.com reports.

Recall in a report by npflupdates.com Mr. Pinnick accused Davido of collecting a huge sum of money as payment for a job he never did.
Based on Pinnick’s statement at the 19th edition of Warri Again, Davido was paid a whooping sum of $94,600 to perform for audience. Also, it was gathered that the organisers of the Warri Again show, Alos chartered a private jet in the tune of $18,000 which will be used in conveying the singer and his crew, but he never showed up.
“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,” Pinnick said.
“I’m not joking. So, while he was playing his games back and forth, we decided to hunt to find another artiste, Shallipopi,” he continued.
Pinnick further argued that Grammy award winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy is bigger that Davido who according to him claims he is a big boy.
“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 added.
Meanwhile, in what looked like a response to what the former NFF boss said, the “Unavailable” crooner took to his verified Twitter handle (now X) to assure fans that he will be performing in the ancient city of Warri.
