October 8, (THEWILL) – David Adeleke, aka Davido, has once again addressed the issue between him and Amaju Pinnick, the FIFA Executive Member, over his failure to honour an agreement between them.
Pinnick accused Davido of refusing to perform at an event in Warri, Delta State, despite being paid $94,600.
But taking to his Instagram story, the singer claimed that he had notified the event organisers in advance that he wouldn’t be able to attend. Yet, they persisted in promoting the show using his name.
“To my lovely fans in Warri that spent their hard-earned money to come out apologies that you had to experience this. I was not going to be physically able to make it and this had been communicated to ‘them’ for a longgggg time, I mean MONTHS ago, but for reasons best known to them, they continued to promote the show using my name. It’s a shame,” Davido wrote.
This revelation is coming hours after THEWILL reached out to Davido’s team to hear them explain his own side of the story.
However, a source close to the organisers refuted the singer’s claims, saying they only learnt of his travelling to Australia two days to the time.
He added that Davido should tender his evidence if he actually notified them or not.
