Pinnick filed the lawsuit on October 31, alleging that Davido breached a contract to perform at the 19th edition of the \u2018Warri Again\u2019 event on October 6, 2023, despite receiving a payment of $94,500.<\/p>\n<p>Davido, represented by his legal team led by Norrison Quakers (SAN), took a decisive stance during the hearing, challenging the jurisdiction of the Delta State High Court in Effurun to adjudicate the matter. The artist argued that the dispute should be treated as a debt recovery case and contended that Pinnick should have issued a demand letter before resorting to legal action.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Davido refuted the claim that Sosoberokon, the individual who signed the contract on his behalf, was his authorized agent. He also contested Pinnick\u2019s assertion that the payment was intended for a performance rather than promotional services.<\/p>\n<p>The court has adjourned the case to December 14, 2023, to rule on the preliminary objections raised by both parties. This legal tussle adds an intriguing layer to Davido&#8217;s career, as he navigates the complexities of contractual disputes in the entertainment industry. The outcome of the jurisdictional dispute is keenly awaited as it could potentially shape the trajectory of the entire legal proceedings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent legal development, renowned Afrobeats singer, Davido, has vigorously contested the N2.3 billion breach of contract suit brought against him by Amaju Pinnick, Chairman of Brownhill Investments Company Limited and former President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
