Superstar Davido has fired back at the former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, who accused him of failing to perform at the 19th edition of ‘Warri Again despite being paid $94,600.
Pinnick also claimed that the organisers had booked a private jet for $18,000 for Davido, but he never showed up. As a result, the organisers had to look for a replacement artist, Shallipopi.
In what looked like a response to the allegation, Davido said those who live in glass house do not throw stone and nobody can stop him from performing in Warri.
“We paid Davido $94,600 on the 6th of April. We paid $18,000 for his plane,” Pinnick had said during the event.
“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,” he said.
However, the Afrobeats star in what looked like a response posted on X on Saturday, bragged that nobody could stop him from performing anywhere in Nigeria, assuring his fans in Warri that he would be in their city soon.
“Nobody can stop me from performing anywhere in Nigeria… Warri I will see you soon,” he wrote.
He had earlier posted,’ Throwing stones but u Dey live for glass house …”
He also posted a picture of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, logo with the caption; “Make I no talk.”
