Pinnick fumes over Davido’s failure to perform at ‘Warri Again’ after collecting $94,000

Former President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has expressed anguish over the failure of Afrobeat singer Davido to perform at his event, ‘Warri Again’.

Warri Again is Pinnick’s annual music, dance and comedy concert hosted on October 1, Nigeria’s Independence Day at Brownhill Coliseum, Ogunu, Warri, Delta State.

Pinnick while criticising the Afrobeat singer claimed that he paid him $94,000 and booked a plane with $18000 for him to convey him and his team to the state, yet he did not 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.

“His words: “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.

“I’m not joking. So, while he was playing his games back and forth, we decided to hunt to find another artiste, Shallipopi.

“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.”

“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”
