Amaju Pinnick, who disclosed while speaking at the 19th edition of Warri Again, revealed that the organizers had also arranged for a private jet costing $18,000 for Davido, but he did not show up.
The former NFF president went on to highlight that, due to Davido’s absence, the organizers had to substitute him with another artist, Shallipopi.
He also drew a comparison between Davido and Burna Boy, claiming that self-acclaimed African Gaint holds greater prominence in the music industry.
Pinnick said, “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.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Davido recently shared a video of himself dancing with a bunch of kids to his chart-topping song “Feel” from his “Timeless” album.
