Singer Davido threw a subtle dig at the Former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick after the football administrator accused him of refusing to perform at an event in Warri, Delta State, despite being paid an excess of $94,600.

Pinnick had called out the singer on Friday during the 19th edition of ‘Warri Again’, claiming the organisers also booked a private jet for $18,000 for the ‘Unavailable Crooner’ but that 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 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 also posted a picture of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, logo with the caption; “Make I no talk.”

Veteran Nigerian singer, Tony Tetuila, has received a briefcase of cash after an encounter with the self-acclaimed African Giant, Burna Boy, at a popular nightclub.

The chance meeting between the two musicians occurred recently at a vibrant hotspot in Lagos, where Burna Boy reportedly gifted Tetuila with a sum of millions of naira.

In a video circulated online, Tetuila was captured on stage, performing one of his hit singles, ‘E Go Better,’ surrounded by a scatter of $100 bills intermixed with bundles of N500 notes.

Amidst his performance, Tetuila momentarily paused the show to acknowledge the presence of Burna Boy, showering him with accolades as the “Giant of Africa,” much to the delight of the audience.

Impressed by Tetuila’s acknowledgement, Burna Boy reciprocated the gesture by rising from his seat, a subtle nod of gratitude to the veteran singer.

Following the exchange of mutual respect, Burna Boy took the gesture a step further by dispatching a custom-designed briefcase, brimming with bundles of N500 notes, symbolising his appreciation for Tetuila’s homage.

Tony Tetuila had in February, this year, hinted at working with Afrobeats star, Burna Boy, on the remix of his hit song, My Car.

‘My Car’ was a hit song released by Tetuila in 2001. The song went on to make waves nationwide.

In an interview with Daddy Freeze, Tetuila said he would like to feature the Grammy-winning singer on the remix of the hit song.
