He also said the organisers also booked a private jet for $18,000 to bring Davido to perform at the event in Warri, Delta State.
He disclosed this while addressing attendees at the event.
Speaking in Pidgin, Pinnick said, “We paid Davido $94,600 on the 6th of April. We paid $18,000 for his plane. If im say him be big boy, we go tell am say we Big pass am.
“I’m not joking. So, why he was playing his games back and forth, we decided to hunt to find another artist, Shallipopi.
“You see when people say dem big, I just dey laugh. The biggest artiste in Nigeria today, no be Burna Boy? Burna Boy is half Itsekiri. Burna Boy’s paternal grandmother is Itsekiri. So, he big pass am.
“Anybody fit big pass RMD for acting industry? Anybody fit big pass Ali Baba for comedy? Warri na back to back we get dem. Nobody fit big pass Warri.”

ReplyDeleteThis is the norm with Nigerian artists..they collect money for show and refuse to show up then see the extent of your anger.If you call them out,they’ll return your money but you won’t be able to call them for any show again.they make you make tough choices.if you no too vex,you’ll remain in their good books but if you para too much,it’s gone.
ReplyDeleteSo you really believe they'll be interested in calling him again after this? If you know how much I dislike stuff like this ehn... ripping off people over money that you are bigger than. Na wa oh.
DeleteFunny thing is they’ll still call him and if they do he won’t answer after this kind of call out.thats how that shit works

Spending dollars in Nigeria on frivolity, reasons why our currency is rubbish. We too fancy things about abroad too much because we have inferiority complex. I don't know if we will ever comes out of our problems because of the way we flex.
ReplyDeletePoint well made.
DeleteNigeria is not a poor country after all . 72M for one artist for a show. Oh gracious! $18,000 for private jet. Nawaooo.. An the masses are suffering like this.
DeleteDavid don go use money sew school uniform
ReplyDelete72m for a show! God abeg oh!!
ReplyDeleteThat isn't a nice thing to do,Davido abeg refund the money.
These things ought to be pursued legally. enough of this unprofessional behaviour.
ReplyDeleteLet's hear from David. Despite all, I believe he's a professional and must have an explanation to this. I hope he was booked properly through his management and no corners were cut leading to this. David seems to be a workaholic and I doubt he will treat a job like this.
ReplyDeleteThey are talking about Davido and not other artists, comedians and actors. Paternal grandmother is too far, you can't compare that to Burna boys mother who gave birth to him who is Yoruba and who handles all his music affairs.
ReplyDeleteReal definition of an egg head.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard burnaboy sing in Itsekiri but I don hear am sing in Yoruba.
