Popular on-air-presenter, Rufai Oseni has waded into the fracas that has started between Davido and Former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick.

Davido threw a subtle dig at the former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick after the football administrator accused him of refusing to perform at an event in Warri, Delta State, despite being paid an excess of $94,600.

This comes after Pinnick called out the singer on Friday during the 19th edition of ‘Warri Again’, claiming the organizers also booked a private jet for $18,000 for the ‘Unavailable Crooner’ but that he never showed up.

He said the organizers had to shop for another artiste, Shallipopi as the replacement.

“We paid Davido $94,600 on the 6th of April. We paid $18,000 for his plane.

Reacting to the controversy on the Morning Show on Arise Television on Monday, October 9, Rufai said Davido should return the money if he collected it.

He said: "Whatever be the case, there are three questions I want to ask. Did he collect $94,000, if he did he had to return the money. Did he promise prior to this time that he was going to perform, did he send an ample reminder and these are the key questions?"

"But you see the two people involved are two bigwigs who will sort it out in court or they might settle amicably"
