Renowned Afrobeats artist, Davido, has contested the N2.3 billion breach of contract lawsuit brought against him by Amaju Pinnick, the Chairman of Brownhill Investments Company Limited.

As reported by DAILY POST, Pinnick, the former president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), filed the suit on October 31, alleging that Davido breached a contract to perform at the 19th edition of the ‘Warri Again’ event on October 6, 2023. Pinnick claimed that Davido did not show up for the event despite receiving a payment of $94,500.

However, during the court proceedings, Davido, represented by his legal team led by Norrison Quakers (SAN), challenged the jurisdiction of the Delta State High Court in Effurun to handle the case. The singer contended that the matter should be treated as a debt recovery case, asserting that Pinnick should have issued a demand letter before resorting to legal action.

Furthermore, Davido refuted Pinnick’s assertion that Sosoberokon, who signed the contract on his behalf, was his authorized agent. He also contested Pinnick’s claim that the payment was for a performance rather than promotional services.

The court, however, deferred its ruling on the preliminary objections filed by both parties and set the adjournment date to December 14, 2023.

“Worrying about what people think during both your grinding phase and your successful phase is a distraction.”

Renowned musician David Adeleke, also known as Davido, recently asserted during an appearance on an American podcast, ‘Business Untitled,’ that his family plays a significant role in Nigeria’s energy sector by operating four power plants. According to him, these power plants make substantial contributions to Nigeria’s electricity supply.

In discussing his family’s business ventures and personal investments, Davido mentioned his brief foray into cryptocurrency due to its popularity in Nigeria. He also highlighted his family’s involvement in the energy sector, emphasizing their ownership of four lucrative power plants that distribute electricity across a considerable portion of Nigeria.

Additionally, Davido disclosed plans to venture into the restaurant business with his wife, who has a passion for culinary arts. However, he reiterated that his primary focus remains on his music career.

While Davido’s family boasts wealth and investments in the energy sector, some observers may dispute his claim that their power plants supply the majority of Nigeria’s energy needs. The Nigerian government owns most of the significant thermal and hydropower plants in the country.
