Nigerian music star, David Adeleke a.k.a Davido is in big trouble.
Former President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick has slammed a N2.3 billion suit on the singer for alleged breach of contract over the ‘Warri Again Concert’.
For those who don’t know, the ‘Warri Again Concert’ is an annual event organised by Brownhill Investments Company Limited, owned by Amaju Pinnick.
Brownhill Investments Company Limited, filed the suit marked EHC/183/2023 before the Delta State High Court in Effurun.
The claimant, through its lawyer, Kelechi Onwuegbuchulem, is asking the court to award N2 billion as general damages against Davido and his music label, Davido Music Worldwide Limited.
The claimant is praying the court to award against Davido the sum of N150 million as legal and professional fees and an additional sum of N30 million as the cost of filing the suit.
It also wants the court to order the singer “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.”
In its statement of claim, the claimant stated that sometime in early 2023, Davido approached Pinnick, when they met at the Abuja Airport and asked to be engaged for the 19th edition of the ‘Warri Again Concert’ event to be held on October 6, 2023.
