He said he sent the artist $94,600 and chartered a jet for him and his staff for $18,000, but they never showed up, which reduced the quality of his show.

While venting, he mentioned that the Unavailable hitmaker had been replaced by up-and-coming rapper Shallipopi.

In addition, Pinnick claimed the singer was egotistical by holding up Burna Boy as an example of someone superior to him in the industry.

Davido should state his reasons without warning Pinnick

In a chat with Legit.ng Femi Fabunmi, a sports analyst pointed out the wrong Davido in his contract with the ex-NFF boss.

"Truth be told, Davido might have missed the event for cogent reasons, but those reasons are what we want to know instead of grandstanding and boasting that nobody can stop him from performing anywhere in the country and warning Pinnick that he shouldn't throw stones because he lives in a glass house."
