Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, aka Davido, has continued to drag the former president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick by calling him a dream crusher.
This was after the football administrator accused him of refusing to perform at an event in Warri, Delta State, despite being paid $94,600.
The FIFA Executive Member claimed that the organisers also booked a private jet for $18,000 for the singer but he never showed up.
He said the organisers had to shop for another artiste, Shallipopi as the replacement.
“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,” he said.
However, the Afrobeats star has responded to Pinnick’s allegation.
He posted on X bragging 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 also posted a picture of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) logo with the caption, “Make I no talk.”
Not stopping, Davido said that he would not be returning the money paid to him but would instead donate it to any Nigerian football charity organisation.
“In fact, I will double it… Mr Dream Crusher,” he said.
“Imagine how many Nigerian footballers have had their dreams crushed because person wan live for Ikoyi by force.
“Warri people hate you Amaju and you know. Come outside, let’s talk. I will be performing in Warri in December, I wan see who get mind stop me…body go tell u.
“I wanna donate the money to @thenffofficial…been suffering for too long, it’s not fair…let’s do something @puma.”
