Davido, has seemingly responded to the allegations by former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick that he refused to show up at an event in Warri, Delta State, despite being paid an excess of $94,600 (about N72 million).
In what appears like a shade on the former boss of the Glass House; NFF headquarters, Davido wrote via his X handle, “Throwing stones but u dey live for glass house.”
In another post, Davido 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.”
