Nigerian music star, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido, has been accused of failing to honour a contract after collecting $94,000.
Former President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, on Saturday stated that he paid Davido $94,000 for the show while $18,000 was spent to book a plane to convey him and his team to Warri, Delta State.
Pinnick, while speaking at the 19th edition of Warri Again, said they had to quickly arrange for an upcoming rapper Shallipopi to replace Davido as the headliner.

He expressed displeasure at Davido’s attitude.
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.”
However, the singer in a cryptic note posted on Twitter, wrote: “Make I no talk.
“Nobody can stop me from performing anywhere in Nigeria – Warri, I will see you soon.”
