Former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Amaju Pinnick has launched a lawsuit against singer Davido for an alleged contract violation.
In a story by Legit.ng from last month, Pinnick openly called out Davido for not showing up to his event despite paying him a huge sum and reserving a private jet for his crew.

He said he spent $94,600 on Davido's performance and another $18,000 on the private plane for Davido and his crew. He then went on to say that Davido was inferior to his mutual competitor, Burna Boy.
According to recent reports, the concert's promoters (Warri Again) are suing the Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) boss for N2.3 billion.
Pinnick's Brownhill Investment Company Limited filed the suit and is seeking N150,000,000 in legal and professional fees, plus an extra N30,000,000.
Further, he asked for an injunction to keep Davido from playing at any show or event in Nigeria until he returned the money he was paid.
Pinnick also wants the court to order Davido "to tender a public apology on all the 1st defendant's social media accounts/handles and in two national daily newspapers for four consecutive days, to the claimant and attendees."

Davido vows not to refund $94k to Pinnick
Davido had accused the former NFF president of stealing footballers' money following their online altercation over a $94k debt.
The Unavailable crooner had stated on his X page that he would not remain silent on the topic, and nobody could stop him from playing in Warri.
After hours, Davido took to Instagram and vowed not to return the money Pinnick allegedly paid him. Instead, he said he would double the amount and donate it to a football charity.
