Davido, a singer, made a sly jab at Amaju Pinnick, the former president of the Nigerian Football Federation, after the football official accused him of declining to appear at a gathering in Warri, Delta State, despite being paid more than $94,600.
The singer was criticised by Pinnick on Friday on the 19th installment of “Warri Again,” who said the promoters had also reserved a private plane for the “Unavailable Crooner” for $18,000 but that he had never arrived.
He claimed that in order to fill the spot, the planners had to look elsewhere and choose Shallipopi.

“Warri is home to several stars. “Warri is the biggest,” he declared.
The Afrobeats musician assured his supporters in Warri that he would soon visit their hometown, bragging that no one could stop him from performing anywhere in Nigeria in what appeared to be a reaction posted on X on Saturday.
Nobody can prevent me from giving a performance anywhere in Nigeria… I’ll see you soon, Warri,” he wrote.
Additionally, he shared a photo of the NFF logo with the remark, “Make I no talk.”
