The former president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has filed a lawsuit against Afrobeat musician David Adeleke, professionally known as Davido. The lawsuit is seeking N2.3 billion in damages and a public apology to be issued by Davido over a four-day period, in connection with an alleged breach of a performance agreement.

The lawsuit was filed in the Delta State High Court in Effurun. According to the lawsuit, Davido was contracted to perform at the 19th edition of the concert on October 6, 2023, for a fee of N70 million. However, despite receiving full payment, Davido failed to appear at the event.

Brownhill Investments is seeking damages totaling N2 billion, legal and professional fees of N150 million, and an additional N30 million for the cost of filing the lawsuit. The company is also requesting the court to compel Davido to issue a public apology on his social media accounts and in two national daily newspapers for four consecutive days.

The lawsuit outlines that in early 2023, Davido initiated contact with Brownhill Investments to secure a booking for the concert. Both parties agreed on a fee of N70 million, which was duly paid in full on April 6, 2023. Furthermore, Davido had also recorded a promotional video for the event.
