Former president of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Amaju Pinnick, has slammed Nigerian Singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, saying he is a smaller artiste compared to Burna Boy, News About Nigeria reports.
He said, “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 this when he called out Davido for failing to perform at this year’s Warri Again festival after allegedly collecting $94,600 from the organizers.
He also alleged that the organisers had to replace Davido with Shallipopi after they had booked a private jet for $18,000 for the ‘unavailable’ crooner.
“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,” he revealed.
