Davido in 7m concert fee controversy

Hip hop singer, Davido, who was advertised
to be among the artistes to perform at the
Festival of India, which took in Lagos on
Saturday, was conspicuously absent.
This did not go down well with some
guests who obviously wanted to see him in
action.
Indeed, such people think that the
inclusion of his name was a fluke, to the
extent that some have expressed the
opinion online.
But our correspondent spoke with the
organisers who stressed that Davido was
indeed invited.
The chief organiser, Rosiji, also confirmed
this.
Although he said it was premature to say
much on the development, other vital
sources noted that the contract between
the Festival of India and the artiste could
run into N7m.

It was gathered that Davido informed them
on Friday night, a day to the event, that he
was indisposed.
It was further gathered on Thursday
(yesterday) night that the organisers have
accordingly communicated Davido’s
lawyers, as they hope to get a refund of
the fee said to have been paid.
Efforts by our correspondent to speak with
the artiste or his manager did not yield
fruits.
A call to his manager’s phone number and
a subsequent text message had not been
replied as of 8pm production time on
Thursday.by chibabynaija1
