Popular Nigerian artist, David Adedeji Adeleke OON, professionally known as Davido, has revealed plans to thrill the people of Warri in a live performance very soon.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Davido made the disclosure on Saturday in a terse statement shared via a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“Nobody can stop me from performing anywhere in Nigeria; Warri, I will see you soon,” Davido posted without details about the event.
TNG reports the former president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick had called out Davido for collecting money from the organizers of Warri Again but did not show up.
Pinnick claimed he paid the singer $94,000 and booked a plane with $18000 for him to convey him and his team to Delta 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.
“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,” Pinnick said.
The popular artist was also called out for doing the same thing in Jos in 2019.
It was gathered that Davido agreed to perform at Jos Chillin and was paid, but he did not turn up.
Although he refunded the money, the organizers of Jos Chillin reported losses, and the integrity of the organizers was questioned by those who bought tickets.
